About Thai tea ice cream
This Thai tea ice cream is creamy, dreamy, and infused with the bold flavors of Thai tea! You would totally fall in love with the bold color and flavor of this ice cream. When the temperature shoots up, this frozen tea ice cream would be perfect and refreshing.
I recreated the ice cream after I have had this ice cream in T4 with coffee jelly and mochi toppings. Such an addictive flavor! But the ice cream has crystals in it. For a perfect creamy texture, I use more heavy cream. This gives the perfect creamy texture that I love.
This can be made with just four ingredients - Thai tea, water, heavy cream, and condensed milk. Once the tea is made, just mix everything and churn, freeze. That easy!
Combining the iconic sweet tea flavor in this frozen treat, that is easy to make, this is a crowd pleaser. Make it for any day or occassion.
This comforting treat is easily customizable. Add your favorite toppings and make it yours!

To make this delicious ice cream, you will need the following ingredients:
Thai tea - rich and bold black tea with a hint of vanilla and warm spices, this Thai tea gives a unique flavor to this ice cream.
Heavy cream - provides the creamy base for the ice cream.
Water - to brew the tea.

Serving Suggestion
This ice cream is perfect to serve in cups or cones. Set up a station for dessert with this ice cream and favorite toppings like chocolate chips, boba, coffee jelly, cookies etc. Guests can make their own dessert.

I recommend storing this in the freezer until use as this is a frozen dessert.
