Questions

Can I make Thai Iced Tea dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 4 tbsp sweetened condensed milk, 4 tbsp evaporated milk. Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product; the evaporated milk for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I halve or double Thai Iced Tea?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
