So you know, this will not work in a coffee machine because the water isn't hot enough – you will need use boiling hot water and the grounds need to sit in that water for at least a couple of minutes (per instructions). The filter is reusable and it's like this https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Superior-Traditional-Fartrade-Outlet/dp/B07BCFTWDN

And ideally, the container to brew the tea should be stainless steel – because a plastic container may not withstand the heat.

Per package:

1. 5 gram tea powders.

2. 120 cc boiling water - 1 to 2 minutes - discard grounds.

3. Add 20 milliliter sweetened condensed milk (like this https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Brand-Sweetened-Condensed-Milk/dp/B0014CS1X6)

Also, add 8 gram of sugar

1. Cool in the refrigerator and serve with ice.

I can barely read what is on the package because it is a bit out of focus but I recalled my and making this (we had Thai restaurants years ago and she would come in the p.m. shift and the first thing she would do is making tea/coffee.)

First, you do not want to mix the filter – one for tea, and another for coffee. The filter when bought is white, and it would turn orange from the color of the tea after one use – so you know.

The water has to be boiling hot. Warm, or hot water will not do. The grounds need to simmer in the hot water and I remembered her saying that it had to be at least five minutes.

Thai tea (or Thai coffee) has no sugar in it at all. The container that she used with metal and I believe it is as tall as the filter itself (see photo on Amazon website). I estimate it is likely 2,000 cc (2 liters). So this will last you a few days.

The way she made it, she added one cup of sugar (yep, that much). Milk or condensed milk (or even half and half) was not added until it is served.

If you are a diabetic, this is not something you should be drinking.

I am betting it is this stuff Seasoning Sauce

It is basically Soy Sauce with MSG, sugar, and Water, if I remember correctly.

You can substitute it with a 1:1 mix of soy sauce and beef stock and a little sugar.

Just buy the stuff of Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Belacan-Shrimp-Paste-8-82oz-Pack/dp/B00886EJLE/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=BCRMYWO867DR&keywords=belacan&qid=1645971005&sprefix=belacan%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-4

I don't think it will be, but is it this?

My wife and I have been cooking thai food for years based on recipes from this book. To us it tastes really like the Thai food we eat in Thailand. https://www.amazon.com/Thailand-Cookbook-Jean-Pierre-Gabriel/dp/071486529X

Maybe something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Lucia-Young-Coconut-Meat-Syrup/dp/B07SRJ2GKT Did they open the can in front of you?
