    Thai iced tea is a delicious, creamy and refreshing beverage. We've made a vegan version using coconut milk. It's healthier and only requires 5 ingredients!

    There are so many street food stalls here in Thailand, even inside the malls, it's amazing! They sell all kinds of Thai dishes and beverages, which are delicious and SO inexpensive.

    When we arrived to Chiang Mai, we saw so many Thai people drinking a bright orange drink, so after searching online I found out it was an iced tea beverage.

    The classic recipe is made with Thai black tea, but any other black tea will do. Fortunately, we found some in our apartment (the most popular brand here in Thailand, yay!), so we used it to make our own version (you can see the one we used in the picture below).

    Thai iced tea is also made with evaporated and condensed milk, so it's not vegan, but we used full-fat coconut milk instead because it's so creamy.

    Thai coconut milk is THE BEST plant milk I've ever tried. It's so rich and thick and is made with just coconut and water. Besides, coconut milk is healthier than cow's milk, although any other plant milk is okay (the creamier, the better). We also used cane sugar instead of white sugar, but feel free to use the sweetener you have on hand.

    This tea is so orange because is made with artificial food coloring, which it's something we don't eat on a daily basis, but being one of the most popular drinks in Thailand, we wanted to try it and sharing the recipe with you guys. We will use regular black tea next time.

      I’m new to your blog and enjoy seeing your recipes. I notice that a number of them call for coconut oil, which is something I try to avoid given its high saturated fat content and the fact I have heart disease. I wonder how using coconut extract and oat milk as a surrogate would work on them.

        Welcome to our blog Paul 🙂 Feel free to substitute coconut oil with olive oil, for example! Have a nice day!

        Ok,
        I clicked that amazon link,and it looks like that tea mix is orange, yet I couldn’t find any ingredients listed on Amazon. I wanted to know the ingredients because I making sure that it’s some kind of spice like cardamom that is making the tea orange, and not artificial food coloring. If anyone here knows why this tea is an orange color please let me know 🙂
        ( I won’t buy anything with chemical food coloring in it due to the fact that chemical food coloring is tested on animals 😢😩)

      I haven't tried the recipe yet. It looks delicious, although I'm unclear what makes it orange. I think you have miscalculated the calorie count. 1/2 cup of full fat coconut milk is 110 calories according to the brand I use, and 2 tablespoons of sugar is 90 calories. In your calorie count you calculate on half the recipe, so half would be 100 calories, not 48.

        Hi Vicki! Have you read the post? It's orange because is made with food dye 🙂 Yes, you're right, I've used Very Well Fit (https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076) again and it has 154 calories per serving. Thanks for your comment!
