Getting in the spirits

I don't know what it is about cold weather and the holiday season that makes me want to make (and drink) homemade liqueur. This next one is unique as far as page 1 of my google search is concerned: Thai Iced Tea Liqueur. Whatdya think? Here's the plan.

2 (15 oz.) cans evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
1 c brandy, vodka, or whiskey
4 heaping Tbsp Thai tea powder

Heat the evaporated milk to a simmer. Add the tea powder and let it steep for about 5 minutes and then strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cloth into a clean bowl. Stir in the condensed milk and the liquor. Transfer it to a clean bottle and chill before serving over ice. It's creamy like Baley's, rich and sweet like Thai iced tea. Success!
