Green Tea
The main ingredient in Thai tea Pantainorasingh is green tea. Green tea, or Camellia sinensis, is tea that is made with the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.

FD & C Yellow No. 6
FD and C Yellow No. 6 is a color additive, which gives the tea its orange/yellow appearance. FD & C stands for "Food Drugs and Cosmetic" dyes. This anagram comes from the Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act, which, in 1938, gave regulatory power to the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. This dye color is also used in cereals, snacks, ice cream and confections.
Preparation
There are a few different ways to enjoy Thai Tea Pantainorasingh. It can be made into an iced tea by infusing the tea and then cooling it. Adding a sweetened, condensed milk to this is recommended. It can also be made into a Thai tea with lime, which is called Cha Manao. In this case you would sweeten the tea with sugar and add lime. The tea can also be served warm, again using the condensed milk to sweeten.
