Where to Find Thai Tea Mix
Recently, I've developed a liking for Thai Iced Tea at various Thai restaurants I've been touring. I was hoping to get my hands on the actual tea leaves with spice mixed right in. I believe there are many different brands you can get, but I've only been able to locate it online. Is there anywhere in the Scarborough/Markham/Richmond Hill area that would carry Thai Tea Mix? I've checked the local T&T and a few other Chinese supermarkets, but couldn't find it. I'd like to make it at home, and add less of the condensed milk (to save some calories/fat). I know it's chemical- and food colouring-laden, but I'd still like to have it.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers and Happy Eating!

Vientiane carries both Thai tea and coffee mixes. But I've heard they've moved from the 2 Bradstock (vaughan) location to Etobicoke..
Good luck! That was the only place I've seen it.

Yeah, I really wish they wouldn't add that coloured stuff to the drink mix. You wouldn't happen to know of any 'all-natural' formulation would ya? Sigh... if only Whole Foods had a version! I just really enjoy the spicing of the tea! Just like how I love Chai, but I have a recipe for that (from scratch, natural and easy).

Most of the tea you get at tea stalls in Thailand is orange, there is no extra colouring. This is the brand that is most common:

You rarely get this brand at nice hotels etc, but I prefer the orange street version.
