How do you make Thai iced tea?

Does anyone know how to make Thai iced tea and where I could go buy the tea? I live in an area where all the restaurants serve it and there are tons and tons of Asian shops around but I haven’t been able to find the actual tea.

Any tips or recipes would be great! Thanks in advance!

   Here’s a recipie I found on the Food Network website, and it contains ingredients that should be easy to find:
   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.
