Well…how? Condensed milk? Cream? Half & Half? Do you need a special tea to start with? I’ve tried a couple of times myself, but for one thing the ultimately color never turns out quite right (should be orangish).

Try [here](http://www.blueray.com/thaitea/recipes.html) . They have a bunch of variations to try.

[This site](http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/recipes/thaitea.html) might help with the sweetening.

Good Luck
