Note
The strength of the tea and the level of sweetness/creaminess can be adjusted to your personal preference. For a richer tea, use more tea mix or let it steep a bit longer. Traditionally, Thai Milk Tea is quite sweet. If you make the concentrate ahead of time, let it cool completely before mixing and pouring over ice to prevent too much dilution.
