I found this derink on Chow & it says that it is very refreshing. I haven't tried it yet but am looking forward to trying this summer (if we have one here in the UK!). Time to make doesn't include chilling time.

I didn't have any star anise, so I used cinnamon instead. It turned out really well.

This Thai iced tea was a bit too strong for me. I think I would use less black tea next time.

I found this Thai iced tea to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably use less sugar next time.
