Since you are looking for Thai tea, I would suggest you start by brewing iced tea normally, but using Thai tea bags if you can find some.
From there, the choice of sweetener (sugar, honey, or artificial sweeteners) may be a challenge. Assuming you usually get your Thai Iced Tea from a restaurant, sugar or artificials are a safe bet. But you may find you like the taste of a natural honey as a sweetener better. Ask the waiter or waitress next time you are there. If they can't answer, ask if they can follow up with the kitchen or manager for you. Good waitstaff will have no issue with this request.
Finally, if you can't get the flavor just right, then you may need to add a flavor. Lemon tends to be the basic stand by. I prefer tea bags with dried fruits added to them. Determining the right additive for you may simply be an issue to trial an error.
If nothing else, I suggest you consider the discovery of this perfect flavor a culinary adventure.

M$here it is
Ingredients
* 6 cups water
* 1 cup Thai tea
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 6 tablespoons cream
* 6 tablespoons condensed milk
Directions
In a kettle, bring the water to a boil. Place the tea in a teapot or glass container. Pour the water over the tea and let steep until bright orange in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain into a clean container, such as a pitcher (or, if in tea bags, remove the bags). Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Fill 6 tall glasses with crushed ice and add tea to 3/4 full. Add 1 tablespoon cream and 1 tablespoon condensed milk to each glass.
Serve with iced-tea spoon so guests can swirl the mixture themselves.

Thanks for your answer.
Prepare Thai tea however the package you select specifies. Going to a Thai market will have the best options. Then just pour over crushed ice until glasses are about half full, and fill the rest of the way with sweetened condensed milk. Delicious!
