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. At first I wasn’t sure about using coconut milk in Thai iced tea because I heard from a couple different people that it wasn’t very good. However, I’m glad I tried it myself because I think it tastes even better than those made with dairy.
Another non-dairy option I’ve tried is to add non-dairy coffee creamer to unsweetened Thai tea. I’ve only used Silk Soy Creamer in Vanilla because that’s what we buy for our coffee and I just add it to taste. Not really a recipe but it’s another idea I wanted to put out there for those who want another option besides using coconut milk.
Add hot water to the tea in a glass 2 cup measuring cup. (You can also use a large mug or something similar.) Steep for about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and stir until dissolved. Chill. Add coconut milk. Pour over ice cubes in two glasses. Top with additional coconut milk if desired.Non-dairy Thai Iced Tea
