Thai Iced Tea with Coconut Milk

I love Thai iced tea! It’s cool and creamy and totally delicious. But when I stopped drinking dairy I gave up ordering this tasty beverage at Thai restaurants. Luckily, I found some Thai iced tea bags at the grocery store and so I’ve been experimenting with dairy free recipes.

It’s cold again. We had a few weeks of spring-like weather but now it’s back to cold and snowy so, of course, that means I’m craving warm, comforting soup and chili recipes.
