iced coffee and thai iced tea serves
6-8 1/4
cup Thai coffee powder or ½ cup Thai tea Place a filter in your electric drip coffee maker and add the coffee or tea. Fill the coffee pot with water to the 8 cup mark, and pour into the appropriate part of your coffee maker. Turn on the machine and let it brew. Once brewed, add the sugar (adjust amounts to taste – Thai coffee/tea is generally quite sweet, but as I generally find the caffeine alone more than sufficient to make me scary-peppy, I like to go easier on the sugar) and stir it up to dissolve. Let it cool, then transfer to a serving pitcher and refrigerate. Serve over crushed ice, and float a good amount of half-and-half in each glass. serves 6-86 tea bags 10-12 mint sprigs 2/3 cup sugar lemons and limes for garnish Bring 5 cups water to a boil, then remove 1 cup. Brew the tea bags and mint sprigs in the remainder for 30 minutes or so. Meanwhile, make a sugar syrup by dissolving sugar in the reserved cup of water. Remove the tea bags and mint once you have a good, strong tea. Add another 3 cups of cold water (or to taste), along with the simple syrup. Refrigerate and serve with ice; garnish with lemon and lime slices if desired. more tea ideas: 2 lemon mint tea – add lemon juice to taste 3 honey mint tea – substitute the simple syrup with honey added to taste o or find drink recipes! ---------------------------> lounge . nourish . host . laze . home .
