Thai milk tea

Sweet Asian drink

Thai milk tea is a sweet, creamy beverage made from strongly brewed black tea, sugar, and condensed or evaporated milk, typically served over ice.

Its distinctive orange color comes from food coloring or spices like star anise and tamarind.

The drink is a staple at Thai restaurants and boba shops: I'll have the pad thai and a Thai milk tea.
