thai tea

Creamy orange drink

Thai tea is a sweet, creamy beverage made from strongly brewed black tea mixed with condensed milk or cream, distinctively orange in color from food coloring or spices.

It's typically served over ice and is a staple at Thai restaurants: I'll have the pad thai and a Thai tea.

The intense sweetness and bright color make it instantly recognizable.
