A creamy and refreshing homemade popsicle combining bold Thai iced tea flavor with a luscious condensed milk swirl, perfect for summer treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons Thai tea mix
  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk, plus extra for swirling
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk or coconut milk
  • Ice cubes
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups (480 ml) of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 4 tablespoons of Thai tea mix, stir, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the liquid is a deep amber color. Remove from heat.
  2. Pour the brewed tea through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl to remove tea leaves. Let it cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  3. Add a handful of ice cubes to the strained tea to cool it down quickly. Stir gently until the ice melts, then remove any remaining ice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup (120 ml) evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole or coconut milk until smooth. Add a pinch of salt if using.
  5. Slowly pour the cooled tea into the milk mixture, stirring gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Spoon a small amount of the tea mixture into each popsicle mold, about 1/3 full. Drizzle a teaspoon of sweetened condensed milk on top to create the swirl effect.
  7. Add more tea mixture to fill the molds nearly to the top. Use a thin skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the condensed milk into the tea mixture, creating marbled patterns.
  8. Place popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
  9. To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh Thai tea mix for best flavor. Chill tea and milk mixture thoroughly before freezing to avoid ice crystals. Swirl condensed milk gently for pretty marbled patterns. Freeze overnight for best texture. For dairy-free version, use coconut milk and sweetened coconut condensed milk.
