With the history of Bhang out of the way, I'll start by saying the accepted old school version of ground fresh buds and trim mixed with yogurt and milk adding spices tastes well, thickly green...
I have made this updated version using a thai tea recipe. Sure its not original Bhang drank at Holi, but it tastes way better and is close enough in structure to call... Thai Bhang Tea...
Coconut oil can be tricky to add to a drink especially a cold one as it likes to harden and separate. To smoothlessly accomplish this task we are making Dulce de leche first to incorporate the coconut oil into the sweetened condensed milk.
I use the Dulce de leche recipe to medicate the Sweetened condensed milk. Using this instead of sweetened condensed milk in the thai tea recipe medicates the drink.
I recommend making the dulce de leche a bit runny at 8 hours cook to mix right in the tea. I use 1 teaspoon per drink.
Thai Bhang Tea
Ingredients
1 tablespoon black tea (1 or 2 tea bags)
1 cup of hot boiling water
2 teaspoons medicated Dulce De Leche (sweetened condensed milk for unmedicated version)
2 teaspoons evaporated milk (plus some more to sprinkle on top)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup of crushed ice
Instructions
1. Steep the tea for a few minutes until it turns nice and dark in color.
2. Taking a new cup, pour in 1 glass of hot tea
3. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of dulce de leche, and give it a nice stir
4. Then add 2 teaspoons of evaporated milk, and continue to stir the tea until everything is fully mixed in
5. Optional - A good Thai iced tea should have a little froth or some bubbles on top, so take 2 pitchers, and pour the tea from one to the other, with a bit of elevation. You could do this in a different way too, but it’s pretty fun!
6. Take a cup and fill it all the way to the top with crushed ice, Tip (place spoon in cup before you pour hot tea in to take the heat away from the ice.)
7.Gentry pour your hot tea mixture over the cup of ice
8.To give your Thai iced tea a final creamy touch, drizzle on some more evaporated milk onto the top of your cup
