Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Thai tea mix (ensure vegan; typically black tea with spices such as star anise, vanilla, and tamarind)

Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.

Allow the tea to cool slightly before assembling the drink.
Step 6
In serving glasses, fill each glass halfway with ice cubes.
Step 7
Pour the strained and cooled tea over the ice, filling the glasses about three-quarters full.

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and plant-based condensed milk until smooth and creamy.

Slowly pour the coconut milk mixture over the tea, allowing it to float and create a beautiful layered effect.
