Mix everything in one big bowl, then divide it evenly between 2 tubspints.

My notes
Tips
- Use loose Thai tea mix from Asian grocery stores, not instant powder with sugar and creamer. No mix? Steep 4 black tea bags and 1 star anise, decaf if you like. The tubpint will be tan, not orange.
- For a stronger tea flavor, steep up to 15 minutes; longer turns it bitter. For a less sweet tubpint, swap 2 tbsp of the condensed milk for cream.
- No evaporated milk? Use the same amount of cream. Rinse the cloth and pan right after straining: the orange coloring stains.
Why it works
Condensed and evaporated milk add sugar and milk solids with very little water, so the tubpint spins dense and creamy. Fat in the milk and cream carries the spicy, vanilla-like aroma of the tea.
