Spiced Thai Iced Tea is a refreshing and flavorful drink that combines the sweetness of condensed milk with the spiciness of star anise, cinnamon and cardamom. Rooibos tea, which is used as the base for this drink, is a South African herbal tea that is caffeine-free and has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. This drink can be enjoyed anytime of the day, and is perfect for serving at a summer party or barbecue. It's easy to make, and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

3.	Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
4.	Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until well combined.
5.	Serve over ice and enjoy!
