The first time I went for Thai, my friend, knowing I like sweet beverages, pretty much demanded that I try a Thai iced tea.  I’ve been hooked ever since.  I make a batch early in the week and then drink it all week long, keeping the tea mixture and the cream mixture separate in the fridge.  You can easily find the tea mix online.
