When you visit a bubble tea shop, you’ll often come across something called Thai milk tea. Like its name suggests, it’s a type of milk tea popular not only in Thailand, but also in other Southeast Asian countries!
What makes Thai milk tea different from regular milk tea? For starters it uses condensed milk instead of regular milk, creating a much sweeter and richer taste. Some even add spices to the tea, creating something similar to Indian Chai tea!
