The Impressive Way to Make Thai Iced Tea

I am indeed quite impressed. I wish the guys at the Thai place down the street could do that...

I would like to point out that the origins of this is not Thai but actually Malaysian and the person doing the pulling a is Muslim.

I'm Malaysian and that sorta thing is pretty common around here. We call them 'teh tarik' which literally means, pulled tea.

Now I feel dumb for every time I've spilled a drink pouring it the regular way.

Mad skills!

So, is it thick like molasses? he spilled a little, but impressive nonetheless.

@Clydeicus: Not sure why you indicated he's Muslim, so I assume you're somehow trolling in some obscure way. Can't see how religion enters into it, unless you can elucidate?

I guess he means only Muslims can be trained to perform such of feat of pulled milk tea preparation. Coincidentally, a restaurant near where I live is run by a family who are also Muslim, and they don't serve alcohol due to their religion, and that drink is their specialty. They only pour it half as high though, but the longer it is, apparently the more air gets into it increasing its flavour... so they say. They also make great fried rice served in the rind of a pineapple.

I was in Thailand last fall. It looks like the guy from the weekend market in Bangkok. He makes a great cup of tea!

@ted:

The guy in the video is wearing a cap called the taqiyah, usually worn by Muslim men.

And yeah this tea is pretty common in Southeast Asia, and is known in Malaysia and Singapore as "pulled tea", with reference to its preparation method.
