Vietnamese Iced Coffee is a bold, refreshing drink known for its rich, smooth texture and creaminess. Made with strong Vietnamese coffee and sweetened with condensed milk, it’s poured over ice to create a perfect balance of robust and indulgent flavours.

Ingredients

2 tbsp of Vietnamese ground coffee (medium-dark roast preferred) 2-3 tbsp of sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste) 1 cup boiling water Ice cubes Any single-cup drip coffee maker

Step 1

Place the coffee filter over a glass. 

Step 2

Add ground coffee to the filter, press it down with the filter press, then pour a small amount of boiling water to “bloom” the coffee for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Pour the remaining boiling water into the filter and let it drip slowly into the glass. This takes about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until well-mixed.

Step 5

Pour the coffee and condensed milk mixture over a glass filled with ice cubes.
