Fresh from my Thailand visit I set out the other day to find the ingredients to make Thai Iced Tea. You may be wondering why I didn't just get them in Thailand, and sufficed to say it was more difficult than I expected. It's basically a black tea base (brewed extra strong) with different spices (anise, cardamon, etc.), sugar and condensed milk. Served cold, it's one of my favorite ways to enjoy tea. After my experiment was complete, I ended up with something that tasted like pretty good Iced Chai, so I missed it by one letter (ouch, sorry for that). Anyway, it's going to take some experimenting, but I'm committed to my quest.
Below are some shots at the market while I was milling around pointlessly (gotten worse since Rebecca left).
A pig's heart that actually looks like a Valentine's heart; a steal at less than $1...
Black chicken. Yes, the flesh is black / purple as well. Quite odd in appearance but like everything else, it tastes like chicken.
