Thai Iced Tea Recipe / Cha Dum Yen

Cha Dum Yen (literally Tea Black Ice) is the authentic Thai iced black tea drink.

As I wrote in the previous recipe of Cha Dum Ron, Thais do not drink hot tea. This is understandable, as in tropical climates same as in Thailand hot drinks are not in demand. 

Therefore, one of the most popular Thai Beverage is Cha Dum Yen (aka Thai Iced Tea). The process of making Cha Dum Yen exactly the same as described by me earlier Cha Dum Ron, except that the tea is poured into a glass with ice.
