Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Vietnamese iced coffee at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. For this drink, it is better to use 100% Arabica coffee, but since we will make Vietnamese coffee with the addition of condensed milk, a coffee variety with 10-20% Robusta is also suitable. Choose natural condensed milk without milk fat substitutes.

Step 2

Step 2
It is best to make this type of coffee from freshly ground beans, but there is no need to grind them into dust: there should be no coffee grounds in the drink. It is better to use medium-roasted beans; very dark roasting will cause bitterness. Ideally, use real Vietnamese coffee, which differs from other varieties in its softness, lack of sharp bitterness and a rich palette of taste sensations.

Step 3

Step 3
I brewed coffee in a Turk, but you can use an aluminum coffee maker with filters, which is used in the homeland of this drink. Calculate 2 tsp. ground coffee per 150 ml of water. And when brewing coffee in a Turk or preparing it in a French press, the drink should be additionally filtered. Cool the coffee, you can do this in the classic way — under natural conditions. With rapid cooling, freshly brewed coffee is instantly cooled by a heat exchange system.

Step 4

Step 4
In Vietnam, special condensed milk for this type of coffee is sold. You can get any good condensed milk from us. Measure the required amount of condensed milk into a glass. Then pour in the chilled coffee and stir.

Step 5

Step 5
You can use any ice (of any caliber); for this, use bottled water rather than tap water.

Step 6

Step 6
Place ice in the bottom of a long narrow glass and fill the glass two-thirds full. Next, pour ice over coffee and condensed milk. Serve the drink to the table. Vietnamese coffee is usually served with a straw and a teaspoon. This drink differs from the usual taste of coffee, it harmoniously combines notes of vanilla, chocolate, caramel, spices and cream, it gives a long pleasant aftertaste and perfectly quenches thirst on hot summer days. Bon appetit!
