Thai Iced Tea

Anyone in Thailand remember how much I loved to drink Chaa Yen? I even got my language group to visit a coffee stand in order to learn precicely how to filter the tea and mix the milk during a 'community lesson.'

So I was SO excited to see an icecream shop nearby school that sells Bubble Tea. Today I ordered up my first Thai Iced Tea, without the little black tapioca balls at the bottom that I don't like. I was a little disapointed when they didn't drip in the thick condensed milk, but offered if I want regular or skim milk. I guess I wasn't thinking about taste, but more about health, but I responded, "skim milk." I was even more disapointed when i tasted it. Blah.

I guess I gotta come back to Thailand to get my Chaa Yen, with ice scraped out of a cooler, and served in a bag, just the way I like it.

Bummer. Maybe you can give them some lessons in how to make it authentic in exchange for a few months' supply.
