Thai tea (also known as Thai iced tea) when ordered in Thailand, is a drink made from strongly-brewed red tea that usually contains added anise, red and yellow food coloring, and sometimes other spices as well.
The main types are green tea (l cha ["茶]) and the fermented black tea (hong cha [紅茶], literally 'red tea'); half-fermented tea is known as oolong tea (wu long cha [烏龍茶], literally 'black dragon').
For a simple inexpensive refreshing drink, buy containers of flavored tea or lemonade and slice some oranges to float on the top. If paper goods are your responsibility, maybe add a little flair by going to a party supply store.
