Happy (American) Thanksgiving! Today the prompt is to drink a tea with flavor notes of a favorite Thanksgiving dish!
Sooooooooo… I know what you’re thinking. Instant Thai tea packets?! I live alone, without any friends or family for states. I have a sister that lives in-state, and is only a 2 hour drive away, but she has worked management in retail for over a decade now, which means she can’t be seen, period, during the holidays. So this cultural idea of a big meal at a family get-together just doesn’t exist for me.
Being in this situation, I have to create my own traditions, and my Thanksgiving tradition is to buy GOBS of Thai food the day before when restaurants are still open, and just work my way through all the leftovers on Thanksgiving. Ergo, Thai tea is the perfect fit for my “favorite Thanksgiving dish”!
These have long been a guilty pleasure of mine. I shouldn’t enjoy instant tea as much as I enjoy these things. A combination of instant powdered black tea, sugar, and cream, this brews that classic, guady, 70s orange of Thai tea, and tastes really thick and creamy… like hot chocolate, only vanilla-flavored instead of chocolate. So indulgent!
Flavors: Cream, Creamy, Sweet, Thick, Vanilla

Happy day of thanks to you!
Enjoy the Thai food!
I love non-traditional traditions! For years, until our constitutions became middle aged (not to mention the rest of our bodies), we did an annual Thanksgiving Eve chili dogs and Frito pies run to a local place, Stogey’s Coney Island!
You have found a solution for yourself. And it suits you well and that matters!
Thai food splurge sounds glorious. The instant powdered black is a guilty pleasure of mine as well :)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh I miss American chili dogs, specifically from Pink’s in LA. Frito pie sounds good too. And Thai food, of course. <3
Mmm, chili dogs with fritos is good eatin’, too!
Your Thai tea sounds decadently good! I will have to keep an eye out for something like that.
I am glad you have a tradition that makes you happy! That food sounds wonderful. Happy Thanksgiving!
