fromlemongrasscooking.comlemongrasscooking.com/vietnamese-iced-coffee-ca-phe-sua-da
A strong, slow‑dripped Vietnamese coffee brewed through a phin filter over sweetened condensed milk. Bold, creamy, and deeply authentic — the classic iced coffee of Vietnam.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Glass
Add sweetened condensed milk to the bottom of a heatproof glass.
Place the phin filter on top
Brew the Coffee (Traditional Method)
Add ground coffee to the phin.
Shake gently to level the grounds.
Place the gravity press on top of the coffee.
Pour a splash of hot water to “bloom” the grounds for 10–15 seconds.
Fill the phin with the remaining hot water.
Cover and let it drip slowly — 1 drop per second is ideal.
When dripping stops, remove the phin and stir the coffee into the condensed milk until fully combined.
Serve Iced
Fill a tall glass with ice.
Pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
Stir again and enjoy immediately.
