I just happened to make some. I actually started making it and realized that I hadn't brewed any tea so this is what I did. I filled a glass with ice cubes, then added a lemon wedge and some honey, then I added some Vanilla Chai Spice Coffeemate creamer and finally I topped it off with milk. It still tasted good minus the tea.

Eeek, Thai iced tea means you mix tea with milk and some herb...eeeek. Sorry, I just don't dig the taste. And I wonder why they put spices in all their food, even the desserts. Eeek, eek, eek.
Thai women are beautiful though :p And the beaches are awesome :D

Basically it is the Thai tea leaf brewed cold like any other tea, and they add condensed milk.
