The Impressive Way to Make Thai Iced Tea

I am indeed quite impressed. I wish the guys at the Thai place down the street could do that…

I’m Malaysian and that sorta thing is pretty common around here. We call them ‘teh tarik’ which literally means, pulled tea.

Mad skills!

I guess he means only Muslims can be trained to perform such of feat of pulled milk tea preparation. Coincidentally, a restaurant near where I live is run by a family who are also Muslim, and they don’t serve alcohol due to their religion, and that drink is their specialty. They only pour it half as high though, but the longer it is, apparently the more air gets into it increasing its flavour… so they say. They also make great fried rice served in the rind of a pineapple.

@ted:

The guy in the video is wearing a cap called the taqiyah, usually worn by Muslim men.

And yeah this tea is pretty common in Southeast Asia, and is known in Malaysia and Singapore as “pulled tea”, with reference to its preparation method.
