If you have tasted thai ice tea then you will soon realise that the making of tea was taken to the ultimate level. Since most people in Thailand have their thai ice tea on the run, it is apparently not due to time constraints but due to the fact that there is no seating place for them to sit and drink it leisurely. Thai ice tea is full of good fruit juices blended with a teaspoon of Thai tea as a base. Some have their tea brews hot while others prefer to have thai ice tea with or without milk. Yes they obviously have their different names for with or without milk in Thailand, as this would be the norm anywhere else in the world too, to help differentiate with the varieties.
Way Too Simple Not To Make For Yourself
When thai ice tea is made, just a teaspoon of finely crushed tea is used per cup. It is placed in a tea sock, which is a very fine material in order to not allow the grains through, and the original hot water is poured over it, and then the tea sock is removed. Sugar and other natural flavourings are added to the brew immediately. Either it is served hot or can be chilled to make that refreshing and cooling thai ice tea that you were yearning for in the first place. You thought it would take extreme methods to make the perfect ice tea recipe for yourself, until you found out how simple it was.
With The Base, The Rest Is Easy!
With the base of genuine thai ice tea being the thai tea, you can quickly create a batch of your favourite flavours to sip on for those extra hot days, not to only quench your thirst but also to give you that cleansing wholesome goodness taste and effects. Thai tea has been known to have various health benefits, besides detoxifying the body of impurities. With the base, you can make energy teas, and more specifically herbal recipes to help with bodily ailments too. The list of what you could do with a good cup of thai tea is unlimited, besides for the imagination. Recipes are available to download over the Internet if you are limited by ideas for yourself. But be sure of one thing you will definitely be making a lot more ice tea than normal tea ever again, mainly for it’s heath benefits.

As you look around in the shops you will see that there are more and more gimmick goods on the shelves that people can buy for their homes. One of these gimmicks is the ice tea maker. Even though the ice tea maker may seem like the sensible thing to have in your home during the hot summer months, you will soon learn that it actually won’t get used as often as you had hoped.
The day you ran out and bought the ice tea maker for nearly an arm and a leg, just because it also had a really good brand name attached to it, it was only used by you in the first week of owning it, and then the novelty just faded away by the next week.
So two weeks down the line after buying this oh so fantastic expensive ice tea maker, it just stands there now collecting dust. You frown at the ice tea maker every time it catches your eye, thinking surely you could have invested in something more useful for your kitchen than that. You are now not impressed with yourself and your decision, and vow never ever again to just rush out and buy anything in haste.
Your Friend’s Commentary
Your friends arrive at your house and comment on your wonderful looking ice tea maker, and you just frown again and in the back of your mind think you should offer this ice tea maker to them at a reduced price, or just start rambling on about how much a waste of money it was buying it in the first place.
When you initially bought the ice tea maker, you had thoughts of all wonderful flavoured teas running through your mind, but now you think to yourself you were an idiot as you could have just used what you had in your home already to make iced tea. You had a jug big enough to fit into your fridge, but no you just had to have the latest gimmick on the market being the ice tea maker.
The thoughts of various teas that popped into your mind initially such as lemon, pineapple, berry, or cinnamon spiced tea just made your mouth water at the pure thought of it, but after this lesson you would be making your own thai ice tea rather with what you already have on hand. You vowed not to run out and do such stupid things again, and there you start anyway again purchasing all special blends of Thai tea to start making your own brews.
