What is Thai Milk Tea?

Thai milk tea is a unique type of beverage made from black tea, sugar, evaporated or condensed milk, vanilla extract, and star anise. The combination of these ingredients creates a creamy yellow-orange drink that is both sweet and refreshing. It is usually served over ice with a straw so that the flavors can be fully enjoyed.

The Origins of Thai Milk Tea

Thai milk tea originated at some point during the 19th century when Chinese immigrants arrived in Thailand and brought their own recipes for traditional Chinese teas with them. Over time, this evolved into what we now recognize as Thai milk tea today – an amalgamation of both Chinese and local flavors that have come together to create something new and unique. Because it was originally quite expensive to make, it became associated with luxury among Thais living in rural areas, who would save up money just to be able to buy this special treat on special occasions.

What Makes Thai Milk Tea Special?

The thing that makes Thai milk tea so special is the combination of flavors it contains—it has the sweetness of vanilla combined with the slight bitterness of black tea as well as hints of anise.
