Thai Iced Coffee - Gaefe Yen - กาแฟเย็น

I love Thai Iced Coffee.  I first learned about it at Pongsri Thai in Chinatown, NYC many years ago and I've loved it since that time.

When I moved to Tallahassee, Florida I felt like I was in a food desert.  There were a couple of good restaurants like Sage and Il Lusso and Kyber Grill (since closed) and Persis Indian Grill, and there are a few good  take-out places like Tans Asian Cafe but, well, you get the idea.  By the way, I have not gone to all the restaurants here, so there may be some really great ones.  And there are some good places to buy ingredients to make good food, so that's a plus.

When we first arrived here, my sister and I went to a local Thai Restaurant and ordered Thai Iced Coffee "to go".  We thought that if the coffee was delicious, it would be a sign that the restaurant was good.  We ended up throwing the iced coffee in the garbage.  Oh well.  

So, I am doing it myself.

Note:  If you can't get Thai Coffee Powder (Oliang) try it with strong coffee like espresso.  You can find Thai Coffee Powder at most Asian Markets and online at Amazon and other sellers.
