Making the Ice Cream
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup of Thai tea mix, ½ cup of whole milk, and ½ cup of heavy whipping cream. Heat over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the strained liquid. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Chill a mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, then whip 1½ cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the tea and condensed milk mixture in two to three batches.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours.
