  9. Optional: add a splash of evaporated milk or milk of choice for lighter texture.
  10. Enjoy your creamy Vietnamese iced coffee.

Notes

Use coarsely ground coffee to avoid clogging the filter. Stir condensed milk before measuring for consistent sweetness. Adjust condensed milk amount to taste. If in a hurry, brew stronger coffee and cool before mixing to avoid dilution. Rinse phin immediately after use to prevent clogging.
