If you start with the standard Thai Tea that's sold in asian markets everywhere, it pretty much just works. Add dairy products and sugar to taste.
I never really got the hang of brewing my own Thai Coffee, though, but ever since Phil turned me on to the pre-mixed 'Cofe' brand (sorry for lack of detail, everything else on the label is in Thai) bottled stuff, I've never tried. It's excellent, and dirt cheap.
i hadn't actually encountered the thai tea mix in the places i usually shop (mainstream supermarkets, mostly, with the occasional foray into harvest coop in central square or whole foods or something), so i figured i'd try and hunt up a recipe.
but now the folks at GLSE hooked me up with some tea, so i'll try brewing that up next time i get the craving at home, and if that works out i'll just have to go haunt asian grocery stores to find a good source for the tea.
