Cool down with a delicious Thai tea frappuccino you can easily make at home. It’s sweet, creamy, and a frozen version of the Thai iced tea served at restaurants.

Thai Tea Frappuccino

• Thai tea frappuccino is a frozen Thai tea drink made with ice, Thai tea mix, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk. 
• Thai tea is a tea blend made up of black tea, spices, and food coloring. 
• Once Thai tea brewed, it’s a dark red but once you add evaporated milk, it turns into a bright orange color.
• Easy to make at home — just steep tea then blend!
• Icy, creamy, sweet–it hits the spot.
• If you love Thai iced tea, you’ll absolutely love this.

3 Tips to Make the Best Thai Tea Frappuccino

1. Thai Tea Mix
   I’ve tried making Thai iced tea without the tea mix and it just doesn’t taste the same.
2. Adding black tea
   To boost the tea flavor, I add black tea to the recipe. You can use any black tea you have.
3. Use a handheld milk frother
   To make the decadent cream topping in seconds, I use a handheld milk frother.

How to Make Thai Tea Frappuccinos

1. MAKE TEA

Heat water on the stovetop or in an electric kettle with a temperature setting. If using an electric kettle with a temperature setting, set it to 190°F.

Use filtered water whenever possible when making tea since it’ll make it taste better.

Steep Thai tea mix and black tea in hot water. Strain out tea leaves and stir in brown sugar. Set aside.

Tea Sommelier’s Tip: To sweeten tea drinks, I find adding brown sugar or honey gives it more depth of flavor than regular sugar.

2. MAKE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING

Using a handheld milk frother, whisk heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk together to make whipped cream. 

3. BLEND

Blend ice, brewed Thai tea, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk until smooth. Use a blender tamper to make the smoothest frappuccinos.

4. ASSEMBLE DRINK

Pour frozen Thai tea into two cups. This drink makes two 17 oz drinks which is a little bigger than a Starbucks grande (16 oz).

Spoon on the whipped cream.

Serve with a straw and drink immediately.

More Thai Tea Frappuccino Tips

• If you used boiling hot water to make tea, make sure to cool down the tea before adding it to the blender.
• Always use a blender tamper when making frappuccinos. The texture comes out perfectly smooth.
• Use filtered water to make both the tea and ice cubes. A better tasting tea comes from better tasting water.
• You can make the Thai tea and the whipped cream 1-2 days ahead and store them in the refrigerator in airtight containers.
