A rich and creamy Vietnamese iced coffee made with strong dark roast coffee, sweetened condensed milk, and ice. This refreshing drink is quick and easy to prepare, perfect for warm weather and a delightful pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons (14 grams) dark roast coffee grounds (French roast or espresso blend preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) sweetened condensed milk (Nestlé brand recommended)
  • 4 ounces (120 ml) hot water, just off the boil
  • Ice cubes, generous amount
  • Optional: evaporated milk or whole milk for extra creaminess
  • Optional: pinch of cardamom or cinnamon for spice notes

Instructions

  1. Add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of sweetened condensed milk to the bottom of a heatproof glass or cup. Set aside.
  2. Place 2 tablespoons (14 grams) of dark roast coffee grounds inside the Vietnamese coffee drip filter (phin). Gently tamp the grounds down with the filter press to create an even layer.
  3. Pour about 1 ounce (30 ml) of hot water over the grounds to let them bloom for 30 seconds.
  4. Slowly fill the phin with the remaining 3 ounces (90 ml) of hot water. Place the lid on and allow the coffee to drip slowly into the glass over about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Once dripping stops, remove the phin and stir the coffee and condensed milk together until fully combined and creamy.
  6. Fill a separate serving glass with plenty of ice cubes. Pour the sweetened coffee mixture over the ice.
  7. Optionally, swirl in a splash of evaporated milk or whole milk for extra creaminess.
  8. Serve immediately with a final stir and enjoy.

Notes

If coffee drips too fast, grounds may be too coarse or not tamped enough; if too slow, grounds may be too fine or packed too tightly. Use freshly ground coffee and water just off boiling (~200°F / 93°C). For less dilution, freeze brewed coffee into ice cubes. Stir well before pouring over ice to prevent condensed milk from settling.
