Alright, let’s talk about this Thai Tea Pie thing. I heard about it somewhere, and it sounded kinda fancy, you know? Like somethin’ them city folks eat. But turns out, it ain’t so hard to make, and it tastes pretty darn good, even for an old woman like me.
First off, you gotta understand what this Thai tea is. It ain’t your regular Lipton, that’s for sure. It’s this strong black tea, they say it’s got them spices like star anise and cardamom. Sounds like somethin’ my grandma used to put in her stew, but hey, it works in tea too. And they put in this sweet stuff, like sugar and that thick, canned milk. Makes it all creamy and sweet, like a dessert already.
Now, to make it into a pie, you gotta get a crust. You can buy one of them pre-made ones, ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. Saves you a whole lotta trouble. Or, if you’re feelin’ fancy, you can make your own. Flour, butter, some water, you know the drill. But honestly, the store-bought one is just as good, and who has time for all that fussin’ around?
Then comes the fillin’. This is where the Thai tea comes in. You gotta brew it strong, like real strong. The stronger, the better, that’s what I say. Then you mix it with that sweet, thick milk, and some eggs, and maybe some cream cheese to make it all nice and thick. Some folks put in gelatin too, to make sure it sets up right. I never used that stuff before, but I guess it works.
- Make strong Thai tea
- Mix with sweet milk, eggs, maybe cream cheese
- Pour into pie crust
- Bake until it’s set
You pour all that mix into the crust, and then you bake it. Now, I ain’t got no fancy oven with all them buttons. Just a regular old oven, and I bake it till it looks done. You know, when the middle ain’t jigglin’ no more. It takes a while, maybe an hour or so, depends on your oven. Just keep an eye on it, you don’t want it to burn.
And when it’s done, oh boy, it’s somethin’ special. That Thai tea flavor, it’s sweet and spicy and creamy all at once. And that crust, it’s all flaky and buttery. It’s a real treat, I tell ya. Even my grandkids, who are picky eaters, they loved it. Said it tasted like somethin’ from a fancy restaurant, but I told ’em, “Grandma made it, and it ain’t so fancy.”
A few things I learned makin’ this pie: Don’t skimp on the tea. Like I said, make it strong. That’s where all the flavor comes from. And don’t be scared to add more sweet milk if you like it sweeter. I ain’t one for measurin’ too much, I just go by taste. And if your pie cracks a little on top, don’t worry about it. It still tastes just as good. Nobody’s lookin’ at it, they’re too busy eatin’ it.
And you know what else? This Thai Tea Pie, it ain’t just for dessert. I had a slice for breakfast the other day, with a cup of coffee. Don’t judge me, it was good! It’s sweet and fillin’, gets you goin’ in the mornin’. And I bet it would be good with a scoop of ice cream on top, if you’re feelin’ extra fancy. Or maybe some whipped cream, that’s always good.
So there you have it, my take on this Thai Tea Pie. It ain’t rocket science, and it ain’t somethin’ only them fancy folks can make. Just a good, old-fashioned pie with a little twist. Give it a try, you might just surprise yourself. And if it ain’t perfect, who cares? It’s homemade, and that’s what matters. It’s made with love, and that’s the most important ingredient of all.
Now, I gotta go, my chickens need feedin’. But you go on and make this pie, and let me know how it turns out. I bet it’ll be just as good as mine, maybe even better. You just gotta put your heart into it, that’s all it takes. And don’t forget to share it with your neighbors, good food is meant to be shared.
