Here’s everything you need to know about how to brew Thai tea 3 ways and make it cannabis-infused.

What Makes Thai Tea Special?

Thai tea is not regular black tea. It’s a blend of black tea with warm spices — typically cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, and sometimes vanilla. The flavour is aromatic, slightly sweet, and deeply warming even when served cold. It’s the perfect base for this cannabis infused Thai iced tea recipe because the strong flavour complements the subtle earthiness of green dragon tincture.

Ingredients for Cannabis Infused Thai Iced Tea Recipe

• Thai tea (loose leaf or sachets)
• Hot water (for brewing)
• 1–1.5ml green dragon tincture per serving
• Condensed milk (2–3 tbsp per glass, adjust to taste)
• Ice cubes
• Optional: boba tapioca pearls in simple syrup
• Optional: evaporated milk + simple syrup (lighter alternative to condensed milk)
• Optional: oat milk or regular milk (for a less sweet version)

How to Brew Thai Tea 3 Ways

Knowing how to brew Thai tea 3 ways gives you flexibility based on what equipment you have at home:

Method 1: Tea Infuser

Fill a tea infuser with loose leaf Thai tea and steep in hot water for 5–7 minutes. This gives you full control over brew strength. The longer you steep, the deeper the colour and flavour. Let it cool before building your drink.

Method 2: Stovetop Espresso Maker (Moka Pot)

Fill the bottom chamber with water and the puck with Thai tea. Heat on the stove — as the water boils, it forces through the tea and collects in the upper chamber. This gives a concentrated, espresso-style Thai tea brew. Run it through 2–3 cycles for a full glass of concentrated Thai tea.

Method 3: Espresso Machine

Fill the portafilter puck with Thai tea instead of coffee grounds, tamp it down, and run your espresso machine 2–3 times to brew enough tea for one serving. This method produces a rich, deeply flavoured brew that makes an exceptional cannabis infused Thai iced tea recipe base.

How to Build Cannabis Infused Thai Iced Tea

Step 1: Prepare the Boba (Optional)

Cook boba tapioca pearls according to package instructions. Store them in a simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar) to keep them soft and prevent sticking. Scoop a few tablespoons of boba into your glass for the full Thai tea with boba cannabis experience. The boba is optional but it elevates the whole drink.

Step 2: Pour the Brewed Thai Tea

Pour your cooled brewed Thai tea over the boba, filling the glass roughly halfway. Let it cool to room temperature or refrigerate the tea before building the drink — pouring hot tea over boba will make it mushy.

Step 3: Add Green Dragon Tincture

Add 1–1.5ml of green dragon tincture iced tea dose directly to the glass. One milliliter of a well-made tincture is a comfortable single serving for most people. Stir briefly to incorporate. The strong flavour of Thai tea masks the alcohol taste of the tincture almost completely.

Step 4: Add Condensed Milk and Ice

Add 2–3 tablespoons of condensed milk Thai tea cannabis style — pour it down the inside of the glass so it drapes beautifully over the ice. Add your ice cubes and stir everything together. The condensed milk sweetens the drink and gives it that signature creamy Thai iced tea colour.

Milk Options for This Cannabis Infused Thai Iced Tea Recipe

• Condensed milk: Sweet and creamy — the classic Thai iced tea choice. Use condensed milk Thai tea cannabis style for the most authentic flavour.
• Evaporated milk + simple syrup: Less sweet but still creamy. Use evaporated milk if you want to control the sweetness separately.
• Oat milk or regular milk: Lighter option. Less sweet, less creamy — closer to how Thai restaurants often serve it with a heavy cream or half-and-half pour on top.
• Half and half creamer: Traditional restaurant style — poured slowly over the back of a spoon so it drips down through the tea dramatically.

Important: Don’t Use Cannabis Coconut Oil in Iced Tea

One lesson learned the hard way: cannabis-infused coconut oil does NOT work in iced drinks. When it hits cold temperatures, the coconut oil congeals into solid chunks — you end up drinking a tea full of oily lumps. Always use green dragon tincture iced tea approach for cold cannabis drinks. Save the coconut oil infusions for warm recipes.
