My godson is home from college where he is working on his PhD and came for a visit today. He and my daughter went out for Thai food and since he has fallen in love with Thai tea, I asked that they bring me one back to try as I have never had one.
Wow. This is…orange. This is sweet. Like major, major sweet. They opted to sit outside to dine because the restaurant was so crowded, so I go out to see them and daughter has an orange smile. I stick out my tongue. Orange.
Verdict – it tastes good I guess? Exotic to this Southern bumpkin. If I made it at home I would use less sugar and no food coloring.
Fun to try something I have never had!

Not a fan of the food coloring either but I’ve searched high and low and have yet to find a traditional Thai tea that doesn’t have it. Pantai tea mix will give you the best results…it tastes exactly like what they serve at the restaurants. I make it at home with less sugar and oat milk.
I didn’t realize there was a mix available, that’s handy.
Someone posted not long ago with a more natural version, colored with beets, which intrigued me.
Oh, it’s a powder as well, from Rishi!

Wow, thank you both! His mom was looking for a good mix since he loves it so much!
