Bangkok Tea Recipe, a Thai Arnold Palmer

I love to try tea in different places and then try to recreate it.  I have been thinking about starting a YouTube Channel.  And I thought people could send in recipes of tea drinks and I could show people how to recreate them.  Well, here is this one....

I discovered Bangkok tea, not when I was in Bangkok (2016), but when I was in New York City (2025).

 

I asked the gal, in New York, what was in a Bangkok tea.  She said it was like a Thai Tea but instead of evaporated or condensed milk they use lemonade.  I thought that was easy enough to re-create!!

I already had my favorite Thai Tea, Cha Tra Mue.  This is the brand they used then I was in Thailand.

And then I just bought lemonade that didn't have pulp.

I made a gallon of tea, so I used 16 scoops of loose leaf tea.

I then steeped that tea for 10 minutes in water over 200 degrees.

The aroma of Thai tea is not like any other tea!  It has this amazing caramel aroma.  I just love it.  Then they also put in this orange dye to it has a unique orange color that you won't find in other teas.  The base tea is an Assam tea.

You can see below the Thai tea orange color!  It is so unique.

I played around with half tea and half lemonade.  But I ended up liking 3/4 tea and a 1/4 lemonade.

Play around and see what you like best.  Also try different lemonades, that will effect your final tea flavor too.

I thought this was great!  Kind of like a Thai Arnold Palmer.
