I went to the Asian market down the street and I bought a bag of Cha Thai Thai Iced Tea leaves. I tried using the recipe it told me on the back but it did not taste the same as the way it is at the boba lounge. Do any of you know how much they use and how much sugar they use? Thank you.
 
to start off, make sure that that tea you got is real good quality. easiest way to judge that, smell it. if its a great aroma, you hit the jack pot. next you're gonna want to have a lot of sugar. always go to you're own tastes, but it will be a considerable amount of sugar. at a boba lounge, we use a special tool to measure the amount of sugar in the tea to regulate the sweetness levels.

did you add milk? cream? this can be a deciding point in the thai tea experience. a lot of places use half&half because its a lot sweeter compared to regular creamer, but if you're not too much ready for the sweetness use evaporated milk. its not as sweet, but the consistency should be there.

i hope this helps.
