Flavor Profile:This naturally sweetened Thai iced tea is rich and creamy, with the tropical essence of fresh coconut milk and a touch of honey for natural sweetness. The bold black tea, aromatic spices, and silky coconut milk make it refreshing yet indulgent.

Ingredients (Makes 2 Servings)
🫖 Tea Base:
2 cups water
2 black tea bags (or 2 tbsp loose-leaf Assam or Ceylon tea)
2 star anise pods
1 cinnamon stick (optional, for extra warmth)
2 whole cloves
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp turmeric powder (for the signature orange color, optional)
2-3 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
🥥 Creamy Coconut Finish:
½ cup fresh coconut milk (full-fat for the best texture)
Ice cubes

Instructions
1️⃣ Boil the Tea:
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the black tea, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and turmeric (if using).
Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
2️⃣ Sweeten & Flavor:
Stir in the honey and vanilla extract. Mix well until dissolved.
Turn off the heat and let the tea steep for another 5 minutes for a deeper flavor.
3️⃣ Strain & Chill:
Strain the tea into a pitcher, discarding the spices and tea leaves/bags.
Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
4️⃣ Assemble the Drink:
Fill two glasses with ice cubes.
