- To make this tea caffeine free, you can use rooibos tea.
- To give this recipe a vegan twist, just replace evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk with coconut milk and coconut cream.
- You can totally adjust the sweetness of your Thai milk tea according to your preference. Plus, instead of using white sugar, you can use brown sugar, palm sugar, honey, or even stevia.
- You can add nutmeg or cloves as spices in the tea too.
