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.

Categories     Drink Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk (adjust to your taste)
1 heaped Tbsp coarse ground dark roast coffee (I use Cafe du Monde)
1/2 c hot boiled water
1 c ice

Steps:

  • In a heat-resistant glass, pour in the condensed milk (you can add more or less to your liking).
  • To the coffee phin filter "cup," add 1 heaped tablespoon of coarse ground coffee. Gently tap to ensure the coffee grounds are evenly spread out. Place the top disc on and carefully screw it over the filter "cup" with your fingers. Use a metal spoon and continue to tighten until you feel some resistance.
  • Place the coffee phin over top of the glass with the condensed milk.
  • Carefully pour a little hot water into the coffee phin and observe how quickly the water drips through. If it's dripping quickly, carefully use a spoon to tighten the filter. (Note: the coffee filter is metal so it will be hot). If no coffee is dripping through, then carefully use the spoon to loosen the filter a bit.
  • When the coffee is dripping at a slow rate, add the rest of the hot water and place the cover over top. (It should take about 4-5 minutes for the coffee to finish dripping through)
  • In the meantime, add ice cubes to a tall glass.
  • Once the coffee has finished dripping, remove the phin. Stir the condensed milk and coffee together, and pour over the ice cubes.
  • Add a straw and enjoy immediately.

ICED COFFEE, VIETNAMESE STYLE



Iced Coffee, Vietnamese Style image

Categories     Coffee     Boil

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/4 cup Thai or Vietnamese ground coffee beans or espresso beans, as fine as possible
Sweetened condensed milk to taste

Steps:

  • Use a drip cone with a coffee filter; place the coffee in the filter. Bring 2 cups water to a boil and pour over the coffee. (You may also bring the water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in the coffee, then strain.)
  • Put about 1/2 inch sweetened condensed milk in the bottom of 4 glasses; fill with ice and add coffee. Stir, then add more milk to taste if you like.

Tips:

  • Use good quality coffee beans. Freshly roasted, medium to dark roast coffee beans will give you the best flavor.
  • Grind your coffee beans just before brewing. This will help preserve the flavor and aroma of the coffee.
  • Use the right ratio of coffee to water. A general rule of thumb is to use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water.
  • Brew your coffee using the pour-over method. This method produces a clean, flavorful cup of coffee.
  • Let your coffee cool completely before adding ice. This will help prevent the coffee from becoming too diluted.
  • Use filtered or bottled water. Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of the coffee.
  • Add your desired sweetener and milk. Sweetened condensed milk is a popular choice for Vietnamese iced coffee.
  • Serve your coffee over ice. You can also add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for a special treat.

Conclusion:

Vietnamese iced coffee is a delicious and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed at any time of day. It is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a perfect cup of Vietnamese iced coffee every time.
