Kasma's Traditional Thai Iced Tea Recipe


Thai Iced TeaThai iced tea, Cha Yen or Chaa Yen in Thai, is a popular drink widely available in small restaurants and street stalls in across Thailand. This simple and refreshing Iced Thai Tea recipe comes from Kasma Loha-Unchit, Thai cooking teacher and cookbook author.

Thai iced tea is the perfect drink for a hot summers day (see our latest blog post "Ice is Nice: Thai Iced Tea & Other Cool Drinks") or can be served hot as a delicious warming drink if the summer weather is not as warm and dry as you would like!
