Materials:
The Thai tea itself! I tried a few different mixes and this one's my favorite.
Because the Thai tea mix is so fine and powdery, I recommend using a very fine cloth strainer. It's not required, but it makes it better (in my opinion). I use something similar to this. This has gone up in price since I got it years ago. But paper tea bags, cheesecloth, or reusable cotton tea bags will all work as well. Whatever you use it WILL be stained orange and brown.
If you don't mind powder and fine particles getting in there (which can make it more bitter), whatever strainer you currently use for loose leaf tea will work.

Recipe:
My mom found this recipie (and many others) and we thought this one tasted the most like restaurant Thai iced tea.
I boil 4 cups of water and steep 1/3 cup of Thai tea mix for 20 minutes. Then I add 1/3 cup of sugar. I add in 2 cups of cold water, or 2 cups worth of ice (instead of boiling all 6 cups at the beginning) just to help it cool faster cause I am impatient and want to drink it.
Pop some in a cup with ice, and then add your milk, cream, whatever you want. I like it most with half and half, but usually I don't keep that around so I just do regular milk more often.
Originally the recipe calls for 15 minute steeping and 1/2 cup of sugar, but I liked it stronger and a bit less sweet. You play around and see how you like it. I find the 20 minute steep and 1/3 cup of sugar is as close as I can get to restaurant Thai iced tea. Half and half also gets it closest to restaurant as well (imo). I ask sometimes when I go to Thai restaurants what they use for cream, and most of them tell me half and half. Once someone told me sweetened condensed milk with an extra splash of milk. I have not yet tried that.
As you noticed the recipe is for a large quantity. It keeps well in the fridge, so you can have some ready on hand. Mine doesn't usually last very long.
Have fun!
Not a ball, but what about something like this? Tea socks are very fine mesh, and this particular one says it's 9 inches long. Should provide lots of space for the leaves to steep in a large pitcher or jug.
I'll try this tonight. Thanks! I suggest, as it was suggested to me, to use this Thai tea filter. It's much quicker than the coffee filter method.
Sorry, that I can't help you with. I just drank a shit load of coffee and tea when I was in Thailand and went on a food tour that stopped at one of the thousands of little stands that make coffee or tea. All of it had sweetened condensed milk it. Thai people love sweet foods and drinks.
I never saw anybody drinking black coffee, very rarely even hot coffee. Knowing how poor most of them are, its probably not the best coffee, though I would assume its grown in Thailand but might be Robusta not Arabica.
I also just remembered, the coffee is made using basically a cloth filter, https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Filter-Natural-Strainer-Thailand/dp/B01HIKU16M/ref=pd_sim_325_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KJ4Z79NY9AZZP7EH3932
Edit - I know how she feels too, summer wasn't exactly great for me, especially since last summer I went to Thailand (Bangkok & Phuket) and absolutely loved it, such an amazing place.
