there are just some things in life that you don't know you're missing
out on until you actually have it hey guys today we're going to be
making a very special version of Thai iced tea green tea iced tea
so in the last video I showed you how to do Thai iced tea street food style and in this video it's
very very special because we're gonna be doing Thai iced tea Street food style with the green
version again we're gonna be using the chatramue brand which is the only company that makes this
version of the green Thai iced tea also known as number one brand this is a very special brand of
Thai iced tea and it's quite uncommon when you go to street food vendors to actually see them making
this but on your next trip to Thailand when you do go to a street food vendor and you want to get a
Thai iced tea you could always ask them if they have the green version here's what the original
Chatramue brand looks like for the original Thai iced tea and this is the green version it comes
in a slightly smaller bag size and it tastes absolutely out of this world I can't wait for
you to try it I love Thailand not only because the people are so kind and so hospitable the food is
phenomenal I just can't get enough but the one thing that I enjoy most every day is going out
for a fresh cold Thai iced tea and the best part is it's only about 25 cents so here's what you'll
need to make this very special green Thai iced tea one heaping tablespoon of green Thai iced
tea mix two teaspoons of white sugar optional but I like mine really sweet two teaspoons of
condensed milk and two teaspoons of evaporated milk in order to brew the Thai iced tea mix I
definitely recommend getting one of these you can either get a tea strainer or a lot of people call
it a tea sock some of them have handles some of them are like this and then I just use a rubber
band to wrap around it but either way you want something that's really really fine and double
layered because the Thai iced tea mix is super super tiny pieces of Thai tea and amongst other
things and if you just use a normal tea strainer it will just go straight through and then you'll
have a lot of bits in the bottom of yours your drink which some people like some people don't
like so let's just use this ok so today we're doing one serving of the green tea iced tea
however if you were gonna do two three four you could get a coffee french press and then
of course just do this step using the coffee French press instead and you'll get the exact
same desired result so first is the one heaping tablespoon of the green tea iced tea mix and I
just like to put a nice little rubber band on it just keeps it all in one place makes
it more easy to manage next we need one cup of hot boiling water or about 240 milliliters
now we're going to take the tea sock place it in the water and we're literally just gonna leave
it there for about five minutes another thing that you can do is to dunk it up and down just
because it kind of helps with the flavor and move the tea around but it also looks really cool so
while this is steeping I just want to let you know how amazing it smells regular orange Thai
iced tea smells really really good but this one is completely different it's not just the
color that's different whatever herbs and spices they use in it is completely different as well
it smells like I don't know how to describe it the only thing I can really say it smells like
is the American cereal fruity pebbles but if you're not from America you don't know
what that smells like or taste like so it's just one of those things you just got to go out and
buy it and make it yourself and that way you can get the full experience this reminds me of when
we were in Chiang Mai and we rented one of those mopeds and went riding around in the countryside
and we stopped off at one of those street food corner markets and I got one of these green tea
iced teas for the very first time those were good days the great thing about Thai iced tea mix is
you can create a larger batch and keep it in the fridge and then that way throughout the week you
can have Thai iced tea and you don't have to go through this whole process all over again Wow I
am so excited for this drink okay so our five minutes is up let's go ahead and strain this
out and get to the next step I'm just pushing it against the side to make sure that I get out
all the remaining juices and as with the regular Thai iced tea this will stain so be very careful
make sure not to get it on any of your clothes for this next step you could actually mix these
in here but just for this video I'm gonna put it into a separate cup so you can see how it
looks that has a beautiful emerald green color it's something that you can only get with this
drink first we're going to add the two teaspoons of white sugar now again adding the white sugar
is optional but I like my drink really sweet so I'm gonna go ahead and add it and I'll just
give that a quick stir to dissolve the sugar next we're going to add two teaspoons of condensed milk
mmm I love condensed milk and we'll give that a quick stir as well and last but not least we're
going to add two teaspoons of evaporated milk the reason why I have it in this glass jar is
because whenever you open evaporated milk or condensed milk from a can you want to make
sure to transfer it out it's just not safe to leave it in the can for long extended periods
of time in the fridge whereas if you put it into a glass container it keeps it much longer and
it's much safer to consume and we'll give it one more stir this looks beautiful nice rich
creamy there's a little bit of a shininess to it as well on the surface this is very exciting and
remember this is a condensed version because we're gonna be putting it into a glass with
ice it will be best consumed once we pour it over the ice and that ice gets a chance to melt down a
little bit so for our grand finale we're going to pour the ice in the cup almost all the way to the
top and then we're going to pour our drink in the best ice for Thai iced tea is crushed ice
look at that and then last but not least just pour a little bit of evaporated milk on the top
this looks absolutely beautiful oh my goodness I was excited about the original Thai iced tea
but I'm even more excited to try this one I just can't wait I've got my reusable glass
straw give it a quick stir okay let's give it a go mmm wow that's good if you've never
had Thai iced tea before you're really missing out I definitely recommend trying the original
Thai iced tea and if you have had the original Thai iced tea I definitely definitely definitely
recommend you try the green Thai iced tea hmm that flavor is absolutely one-of-a-kind this
is so rich and creamy this is perfect it may look like a matcha drink but it doesn't taste
anything like a matcha drink there are just some things in life that you don't know you're
missing out on until you actually have it but the best thing is I can make this from home I
mean that is like insane and you can too now that you have the recipe hmm doesn't get any
better than this guy's all troubles of the world just melt away when you have an authentic cup of
Thai iced tea in your hands hmm all right guys I'm gonna go drink this it'll be gone
