A refreshing and bold Vietnamese iced coffee made with strong dark roast coffee and sweetened condensed milk, perfect for a sweet, creamy pick-me-up on hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons (about 15 grams) coarsely ground dark roast coffee beans
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 to 6 ounces (120–180 ml) hot water (just off boil, about 200°F or 93°C)
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Optional: evaporated milk or whole milk for a lighter version

Instructions

  1. Place 2 tablespoons of coarsely ground dark roast coffee into the Vietnamese phin filter.
  2. Gently press the coffee down with the filter’s tamper or inner press, but do not pack it too tight.
  3. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk into the bottom of a heatproof glass.
  4. Set the phin filter on top of the glass containing the condensed milk.
  5. Slowly pour about 4 ounces of hot water into the filter chamber, filling it halfway, then wait 20-30 seconds for the coffee grounds to bloom.
  6. Pour the remaining hot water into the phin until full (about 6 ounces total). Place the lid on top and let the coffee drip slowly for 4 to 5 minutes.
  7. Once dripping stops, carefully remove the phin filter.
  8. Stir the coffee and condensed milk thoroughly until smooth and rich.
  9. Fill the glass with plenty of ice cubes and stir to chill the coffee mixture.
  10. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

If the coffee drips too quickly, press the grounds a little firmer; if it drips too slowly, the grind may be too fine or water temperature too low. Use fresh, coarsely ground coffee for best flavor. Clean the phin filter immediately after use to avoid bitter flavors. Adjust condensed milk amount to taste for sweetness and creaminess.
