Ingredients

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Phin Filter: Place 2-3 tablespoons of dark roast coffee grounds into the phin filter.
  2. Add Hot Water: Pour a small amount of hot water (around 212°F) over the coffee grounds to bloom them. Wait for 20-30 seconds.
  3. Brew the Coffee: Fill the phin filter with hot water and let the coffee drip slowly into a cup. This should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Mix with Condensed Milk: Once the coffee has dripped, add 1-2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to the coffee. Stir well to combine.
  5. Serve Over Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the coffee mixture over the ice. Stir again to chill the coffee.

Notes

For an authentic taste, use a phin filter and Vietnamese Robusta coffee. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to suit your sweetness preference. Experiment with different coffee-to-water ratios to find your perfect brew.
