what is thai tea?
Thai tea, also known as thai iced tea or cha yen, is a popular and flavourful drink originating from Thailand that’s made by brewing strong black tea with a combination of spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and cardamom. This thai iced tea is then mixed with condensed or evaporated milk to give it a rich and creamy texture.
Similar to a chai latte, thai iced tea has a sweet and spicy flavour that's perfect for those who love a bit of spice in their drink. And if you prefer a cold version, you can easily turn it into a refreshing thai iced tea by brewing the tea, letting it cool, and then adding ice and milk.
Thai iced tea is a popular drink in Thailand and around the world, and it's a perfect choice for those who enjoy a unique and refreshing tasting milk tea!

For some Aussie goodness, here are some fun ideas to add fun to your recipe!
Spice things up with a "kick of Australian bush spices" in your thai iced tea. Blends like wattleseed, lemon myrtle, and pepper berry can add a unique and aromatic twist to the traditional thai milk tea
Give your thai iced tea a refreshing twist by adding a "dash of fresh mint" leaves to the tea. This will bring a cool and invigorating element to the warm and spiced tea.
For a tropical Aussie twist, add a splash of "fresh pineapple juice" to your thai iced tea. This will give the tea a tangy and fruity flavour that is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day.
For a richer and creamier texture, add a scoop of "vanilla bean ice cream" to the top of your thai iced tea. This will create a decadent and indulgent treat that is perfect for a special occasion.
Add a "pinch of ground macadamia nuts" to your thai iced tea for a nutty and buttery flavour. Macadamias are a quintessentially Aussie ingredient that can add a unique twist to the traditional version.
There you have it, pretty easy ain’t it?

Hibiscus Milk Tea
“Hibiscus Milk Tea with Dried Apricots”
I certainly don’t get the obsession with boba pearls, or fruit pops in all the Fancy teas available in the market. They are high in sugar, and starch which is certainly not good for health in the long term. We have so many good alternatives available that can easily substitute these pearls more efficiently and deliciously. For example using chia seeds,…

1 day in Taipei memory 🦋🎨🥀🌺🌲
I went to Songshan Cultural and Creative Park with a friend! We saw a lot of exhibitions and got a lot of inspiration! It's really green and peaceful. 🌱 🍃 I should have gone to more places like this :-) And then went to get a Thai milk tea, which is pretty sweet hehe <3
I also bought a kitten postcard from the tiny market there! Sooo cute /ᐠ。ꞈ。ᐟ❁ \∫ ♡ ♡

Shortlist of the issues I care about / support:
Movements that are part of the Milk Tea Alliance:
Free Hong Kong
Taiwan's struggle against Chinese encroachment
Thailand Protests
Myanmar anti-coup protests
Free Tibet
East Turkestan Independence
Black Lives Matter
Woman, Life, Freedom
Ukrainian resistance against Russia
Free Palestine
If you're asking me why I'm supporting Palestine, that's because I believe human rights should be for everyone in the world and not just for people who are like me. Whoever is under oppression and needs help, I will stand with them.
And my support for Palestine will not diminish my support for these other movements that I'm already getting behind.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
