"Here is my recipe for this tasty iced tea, which is the perfect complement to a hot day, or a hot dish. It is extremely close to what you get at Thai restaurants. This delicious orange beverage is very strong, very sweet, and very good. It also has a great presentation, with its bright color and the layers formed by the milk."
