If you are going to all the trouble of making Thai Tea...then why not go a step further and make Thai Tea Ice cream. It could totally be a thing!
If you are an iced tea lover, this ice cream will knock your socks off. It is fragrant and deliciously refreshing on a hot day. One scoop or two? Make it three! I love the depth of colour. Although Thai tea is it's own thing, you don't need authentic Thai tea powder to make this, as we are starting from scratch...so give it a go with your tea of choice. Matcha might be good, hmmmmn...who's in?
