Mint Thai Iced Tea
If you've never tried Mint Thai Iced Tea, it's time to make your very first batch! This easy Thai tea recipe is so refreshing and different, you'll begin to crave it more than regular iced tea in no time. What makes Thai iced tea stand out from regular tea recipes is its use of coconut milk and sweetened mint-infused simple syrup. The base for Thai teas is chai, which is a naturally spicy and slightly sweet, caffeinated tea originating in India. To offset the sometimes overpowering spiciness of this tea blend, the mint simple syrup and coconut milk help to balance the flavor, making this one of the most delicious iced beverages you'll ever try. You can also enjoy this tea hot by omitting the extra step of chilling the pre-brewed tea. Either way, this recipe is a dream!

We have way too much mint growing in the garden, the more I pull it the more it grows. We dont use a lot of it so I would love to try this mint iced tea, I also love coconut milk, it really sounds tasty! Could the mint infused simple syrup be used in anything else?
