From beerandbeancurd!
Made with cold non-homogenized 2% milk and stirred. At first the beet powder clumped a little on top, but after letting it sit in the work fridge for several hours, the mixture completely homogenized. Color is like one of those flesh-colored crayons with a pinkish tint.
The taste is a near copy of restaurant Thai iced tea but more natural tasting. Less thick (which I appreciate) because it’s not made with condensed milk — really satisfying and chuggable. The beet extract powder with its earthy sweetness lightly balances the richer cane sugar taste. Am I imagining the floral suggestion of the gardenia flower extract?
I don’t understand how this has such a spot-on flavor with only 4 ingredients! That black tea extract powder must have a major malty-vanilla tilt to it.
Not only would this powder be perfect for people that like to cook Thai/Asian food at home, but I also think it would make a killer ice cream.

Holy lord, that’s tasty. Made with “full-fat” (read: added oil) oat milk. I keep instant brown sugar boba packets on hand and threw two of those in. Too, too easy. Earthy, creamy, sweet without cloy, floral without fakery. (Gardenia powder… who knew?)
Between this banger and derk’s saucy review of Rishi’s passionfruit powder recently, I’ma be tracking that one down soon, methinks…

Iced oat milk latte!
I’m pretty pleasantly surprised with this one. The ingredients list is strange and not at all what I’d expect in a Thai iced tea so the fact it works as well as it does is a huge win in my books. Very, very malty black tea base with a bit of earthiness to it as well – though that’s certainly also from the beets that are contributing so beautifully to the cup colour. It’s definitely rich and saturated and in the right ballpark of a Thai milk tea, but slightly more pink-y red than the orange/brown you’d expect. Totally fair and reasonable though – this is done naturally versus through dyes. I thought the sweetness level was really good, it was easy to whisk up and the texture unproblematic.
Overall very solid!
A Thai iced tea powder sounds really interesting. How close is the flavor to traditional Thai iced tea? The “natural” Thai tea mixes I’ve tried seldom match the real thing.
Definitely less sweet and syrupy, and more earthy from the beets but without tasting side by side I felt it was close enough that I certainly would be more than happy drinking it as a replacement.
Nice. I’ll have to pick some up with my next Rishi order.
Yeah, this stuff is some wicked alchemy. Glad you enjoyed it.
