Easy Non-Dairy Thai Iced Tea Recipe

Brimming with warm, fragrant spices yet refreshingly cool, this Thai Iced Tea Recipe is the perfect beverage for ushering and basking in warmer weather. Our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Breakfast tea provides a robust base for the tantalizingly creamy concoction hailing from Thailand. While the popular drink is typically loaded with sugar, a splash of pure maple syrup or agave nectar in this lightened-up version is all you need for a heady touch of sweetness that lets the rich, natural flavors truly shine.

All our ORGANIC INDIA Tea Infusions harness the potency of Tulsi (Holy Basil), an aromatic Ayurvedic herb offering deep health benefits for both the body and mind. Known in India as the “Queen of Herbs”, Tulsi has been recognized for over 5,000 years for its ability to grant health and renewal. Increasingly, modern science verifies Tulsi’s beneficial qualities, including its support in providing stress relief, promoting immune health, aiding in the natural detoxification process, and more.

A classic Thai Iced Tea derives its characteristic orange hue from food coloring. Instead, we like to incorporate a touch of our ORGANIC INDIA Turmeric Formula. Lauded for promoting joint health, Turmeric is also known for supporting the immune system, a healthy inflammatory response, and more. With all that goodness packed in, this is one luxuriously delicious beverage worth lingering over.
