Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 tsp Cafe Du Monde (or Trung Nguyen coffee)
2 tsp condensed milk
1 cup boiling water

Steps:

  • Start by boiling some water. An electric kettle makes it a lot faster. My tea-loving roommate left it behind when she went back to Australia. I would have never thought to purchase one, but it's seriously a game changer in terms of speed.
  • Preheat the filter and cup by pouring a bit of boiling water through it.
  • Remove the metal filter and pour in 1 heaping tablespoon of Cafe Du Monde (about 4 teaspoons). I love the smell of coffee!
  • Twist the filter on gently until it just starts to stop. Then turn it little more, a bit less than 1/8 a turn. If your filter doesn't use screws, simply place the filter on top of the coffee.
  • Pour a tiny bit of water in the filter just to wet the grind and to let the grind expand a bit. This will help rid of some small grinds that happen to make it through the filter. You can toss it out if you see any.
  • Fill the filter all the way and let it drip. Ideal brewing time comes to about 3 to 5 minutes so adjust the filter accordingly. Too loose and you'll just have runny brown water. Too tight and nothing will drip through. The filter will be hot, so use a fork or another utensil to adjust the filter. Place the cap on and watch the coffee drip!
  • For condensed milk, I prefer Longevity Brand - Sua Ong Tho. Any brand will do but I like the art on this one ????. Personally, I like it a little strong and less sweet than most folks. About 1 teaspoon of condensed milk does it for me. If you like it sweeter add 2-3 tsp.Adding it to the cup before brewing does have a slight effect on the flavor since the boiling water cooks it a bit. For this recipe we'll add it afte brewing since you can more easily adjust how much condensed milk slowly. Once you know the amount you like you can add it straight to the cup before brewing.
  • For iced coffee, let it cool off a bit then pour the brew into a glass filled with ice.

CAFE SUA DA



Cafe Sua Da image

Café Sua Da is a delicious Vietnamese coffee drink. Typically, Vietnam-grown espresso slowly drips out of a small metal drip filter into a glass that contains a thin layer of sweetened condensed milk. It is then served hot or poured over ice as an iced coffee drink. It is very easy to make-you don't need the drip filter to get the same effect.

CAFE SUA DA (VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE)

This is my favorite way to have coffee. My grandma had a coffee shop in Vietnam. Very easy to make, you can even chill dark coffee (espresso) the night before so you have some in the morning.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 -4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup cafe du monde coffee (or your choice)
cubed or crushed ice

Steps:

  • Make your coffee. I use a traditional Vietnamese coffee filter, but you do not have to if you don't have one.
  • Prepare a cup with about 3 - 4 tablespoons of the sweetened condensed milk.
  • Stir together coffee and condensed milk.
  • Pour over ice.

Tips:

  • To enjoy the authentic Café Sua Da experience, use high-quality coffee beans or ground coffee and freshly brewed, strong coffee.
  • For the condensed milk, choose a sweetened condensed milk specifically made for Vietnamese coffee, as it has a thicker and richer flavor than regular condensed milk.
  • The amount of coffee, condensed milk, and ice can be adjusted to personal preference. For a stronger coffee flavor, add more coffee; for a sweeter drink, add more condensed milk; and for a more refreshing beverage, add more ice.
  • For a creamier texture, blend the condensed milk and ice together until smooth before adding the coffee.
  • To ensure the drink is well-mixed, stir gently to combine all the ingredients until the condensed milk and coffee are evenly distributed.
  • Serve Café Sua Da immediately after preparation to enjoy it at its best, as the ice will melt over time and dilute the flavor.

Conclusion:

Café Sua Da is a delightful Vietnamese iced coffee that combines the strong flavor of coffee with the sweetness of condensed milk and the refreshing coolness of ice. Its unique flavor profile and simple preparation make it a popular choice among coffee enthusiasts. By following these tips and adjusting the ingredients to personal preferences, anyone can easily create a delicious Café Sua Da at home and enjoy a taste of Vietnamese coffee culture.
