Italian cuisine vs. Thai Tea

Italian cuisine

The one that we all know and love. Pizza, pasta, risotto, gnocchi, tortellini and many, many more. Also ice cream aka gelato. And limoncello. And wine. Italians love food and it shows.

Thai Tea

Thai tea is a sweet, creamy drink made from strong black tea, usually Ceylon or a local version of Assam. It’s brewed with sugar and often flavored with condensed milk, giving it that rich, smooth taste and signature orange color. When served cold, it’s poured over ice, sometimes with a splash of evaporated milk on top for that creamy swirl. In Thailand, you’ll find it in tall glasses at restaurants or in plastic cups or bags from street vendors. Some places even turn it into a blended drink, like a frappé. There are variations too—like a version without milk called “dark Thai iced tea,” or one with lime for a citrusy kick. People drink it hot in the mornings as well, often with fried dough sticks.

The Thai staple. What can be better than a cold iced tea on a hot afternoon in Chiang Mai? Although they often make them too sweet so I always ask for no added sugar.
