With dishes like tongue-scorching green curry and papaya salad, Thai food has a reputation for being spicy. But Thais also love a little sweetness. Spoonfuls of sugar are regularly added to season dishes, even curries and noodles. But few treats rival Thai coffee for sweetness. As you can see in this step-by-step process, Thai coffee is made with several large spoonfuls of sweetened milk – and even then, some people request that a little sugar be added. At the very least, if the caffeine doesn’t wake you up, the sugar certainly will.

Yes there is a lot of sugar in Thai iced coffee. My favourite (also has heaps of sugar) is the Thai style iced tea, delicious…
just remember though, the street coffee depicted here is extremely strong coffee, really like a large cup of espresso, and that is sweetened condensed milk, even sweeter than just sweetened milk
Look at the color, even after a huge heap of the condensed milk, it is only slightly lighter!
Thai street coffee will knock your socks off!
