VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE



Vietnamese Iced Coffee image

This popular coffee drink requires only three ingredients: coffee, water and condensed milk. Traditionally, a Vietnamese press is used to make the coffee, but this recipe calls for a simple pour-over cone. (If you don't have a coffee cone, you can substitute brewed espresso for the coffee.) Vietnamese iced coffee is normally made one serving at a time, but for ease, this recipe makes a batch that will serve about four. Be sure to use a boldly flavored dark roast coffee, since the condensed milk and ice will dilute the drink.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings (about 2 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup finely ground dark roast coffee, such as French roast
3 cups boiling water
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Place coffee grounds in a heatproof container. Slowly pour boiling water over the grounds in a circular motion to evenly saturate. Do not stir; let steep 5 minutes.
  • Line a coffee cone with a paper filter and place the cone over another heatproof container.
  • Slowly pour the steeped coffee through the filter, allowing all the liquid to drip through completely. (You should have about 2 cups of strong coffee. See Tip.) Discard the filter and coffee grounds. Stir the condensed milk into the coffee until well blended.
  • Fill 4 glasses with ice cubes. Divide the coffee mixture among the glasses and serve immediately, or transfer to the refrigerator, where it will keep, covered, up to 3 days. Serve over ice.

Yield Makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons dark-roast ground coffee (preferably Trung Nguyen Premium Blend or Café Du Monde Coffee with Chicory)
2 tablespoons (scant) sweetened condensed milk
Ingredient info: Café Du Monde Coffee with Chicory can be found at cafedumonde.com. The metal filter (phin) and Trung Nguyen coffee can be found at trungnguyen-online.com.
Special Equipment
A single-cup Vietnamese metal coffee filter set

Steps:

  • There are two ways to make Vietnamese coffee. The simplest method is to steep coffee grounds in a heatproof container with 2/3 cup boiling water for 4 minutes. Pour through a coffee filter into a heatproof glass.
  • Or use a metal filter, which we recommend. Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Remove top screen from filter, add coffee, then screw on top screen. Place filter over a heatproof 12-ounce glass or measuring cup.
  • Pour a splash of the hot water into filter; this will allow the coffee grounds to bloom. When coffee begins to drip through, add enough water to reach top of filter. Place lid on filter and let coffee drip for 4 minutes. If coffee stops dripping sooner, gently loosen screw to relieve pressure.
  • Stir in condensed milk until blended. Add ice, stir, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use strong coffee. Vietnamese coffee is traditionally made with a strong coffee, such as a dark roast or espresso. This will give your iced coffee a rich, full-bodied flavor.
  • Brew your coffee strong. In addition to using a strong coffee, you should also brew your coffee strong. This means using more coffee grounds than usual or brewing your coffee for a longer period of time.
  • Use sweetened condensed milk. Sweetened condensed milk is a key ingredient in Vietnamese iced coffee. It adds a rich, sweet flavor to the coffee and helps to balance out the bitterness of the coffee.
  • Use ice cubes made from strong coffee. This will help to keep your iced coffee strong and flavorful, even as the ice melts.
  • Garnish your iced coffee with whipped cream or cocoa powder. This is a great way to add a little extra flavor and visual appeal to your iced coffee.

Conclusion:

Vietnamese iced coffee is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy coffee. It is easy to make at home and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make Vietnamese iced coffee just like the pros!
