OK, so I tried your recipe and then I explored further by making some changes to make thai iced tea popsicles. I thought I should share my learnings with you. I wanted to keep the sweetened cond milk taste, so I replaced the cream and evap milk with half n half. I left out the eggs, since they were masking the impact of the thai tea flavor. I also bumped up the tea a bit. The resulting recipe made excellent popsicles.

4 c. half n half
1/2 c. swt cond milk
1/2 c. thai tea

Bring half n half to simmer w/ cond milk, add tea & cover to steep for an hour. Cool. Strain. Pour into popsicle molds or very skinny glasses and freeze. Add popsicle sticks just as the liquid begins to freeze, about 2 hours, although it really depends on how thick the pops are. Allow to freeze overnight. Run inverted molds or glasses under warm water for 2 seconds each and twist to remove popsicles.

I totally hear ya. Sakai was the one asking why not coconut milk. I agree that thai iced tea, or anything else for that matter, is non-delicious when overly sweet. My thai restaurateur friend, who introduced me to thai tea many years ago, does still use a little swt condensed here in the states, since the taste is distinct and missed otherwise, but he cuts it with half & half. For the ice cream, I will try your recipe tonight and let you know how it goes. Based on this blog/discussion, I think I will replace some of the cream with milk, to allow for the swt cond milk taste I desire and hopefully avoid a product that is overly rich. Thanks for your insight!

Who said anything about coconut milk? Though I do believe in authenticity, I feel that condensed milk makes this already sweet drink heavier, I eliminated it and lightenedit which in the states is the common way of making it in the Thai restaurants. I have a friend who owns a Thai restaurant (and is Thai), that's the way they make it :)

There's no coconut milk in thai iced tea! There is sweetened condensed milk, though, so that should not be eliminated if you're going for an authentic thai iced tea flavor.

Thank you all for all your wonderful comments :) I think I'd adjust this ice cream slightly next time and make it sweeter. Maybe use regular sugar instead of sweetened condensed milk as a sweetener. I tend to have a phobia of adding too much sugar.

This recipe immediately made me go and order an ice cream maker as I am also obsessed with thai tea. It arrived a few days ago and I was finally able to make it this evening. The thai tea ice cream is VERY creamy and it is nutty, but so delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe! I love it!

I took a picture of it . I apologize for the crappiness, hehe!
