Being a big fan of Thai cuisine, I am always on a lookout for a good restaurant serving good authentic Thai food. Being a vegetarian, the choice is limited but I just love the simplicity, aroma, and flavor of the food which taste divine with coconut milk gravy.
And when I am having a Thai curry, Thai Iced tea is a must. It complements the food wonderfully and I just can't resist not having it. I love making Thai iced tea at home in the instant pot as I do not have to monitor it.
Thai iced tea ingredients
To make Thai iced tea, one of the main ingredients is a good Thai tea mix. There are plenty of options available for the Thai tea mix.
However, when I looked at the ingredients listed, I saw that most of them had food color added. Finally, I found one with all-natural ingredients, the All Natural Thai Tea mix.

Why make Thai tea in the instant pot? It saves your time as you do not need to boil water or monitor while making tea.
You are completely hands off once you add water and Thai tea mix in the instant pot and start it on the high-pressure mode followed by a natural pressure release.
Strain the tea using a fine strainer and allow it to cool down or alternately refrigerate for few hours.
How to make Thai iced tea?
To make Thai iced tea, once the brewing process is done allow the tea to cool down. Now it is very easy to make Thai iced tea or Thai sweet tea.
Put a cup of crushed or cubes of ice in a tall glass or even a mason jar. Pour the tea liquid over the ice, and then add sweetened condensed milk as per taste along with a few tablespoons of evaporated milk.
Give it a gentle stir using a straw and it is ready to be enjoyed. I like to use stainless steel straws, which is an environment friendly choice, and have been using ever since my kids were younger and used to drink milk with a straw.
