Instructions
prepare crepe batter
- 1Brew the black tea strongly and let it cool completely. Once cool, measure out 1 cup.
- 2In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ground star anise (or anise powder), and salt.
- 3In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cooled black tea, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
- 5Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the flour to hydrate.
cook crepes
- 1Heat a non-stick crepe pan or a 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter.
- 2Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, tilting and swirling to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer of batter.
- 3Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to crisp and the bottom is lightly golden. Gently flip the crepe and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side.
- 4Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go, lightly greasing the pan between each crepe as needed.
serve
- 1Fold each crepe into quarters or roll them up neatly.
- 2Arrange the crepes on a serving platter and generously drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.
- 3Serve immediately and enjoy the exotic flavors of these Thai tea crepes.

Tips
- For maximum Thai tea flavor, steep your black tea with a pinch of crushed green cardamom pods along with the star anise.
- Aim for thin crepes; if your batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches the desired consistency for easy swirling.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a side of fresh mango for an extra touch of Southeast Asian flair.
