Vietnamese-style iced coffee, known as 'cà phê đá,' is a delicious and refreshing drink that combines the robustness of espresso with the sweetness of condensed milk. This recipe is perfect for coffee lovers looking for a cool beverage with a unique twist.
Instructions:
- Prepare 1 cup of espresso coffee using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop espresso maker, or Aeropress). Ensure the espresso is strong and robust in flavor.
- In a heatproof container, combine the freshly brewed espresso with 1/2 cup of condensed milk. Stir well until the condensed milk is fully dissolved and incorporated into the coffee.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of milk (1% fat) to the coffee mixture. Stir again until the milk is thoroughly mixed.
- Allow the coffee mixture to cool down to room temperature. This will help in chilling the coffee quickly once ice is added, without melting the ice too fast.
- Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Divide the coffee mixture evenly between the two glasses, pouring it over the ice.
- Stir the iced coffee gently to ensure it's well mixed and chilled. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor. If an espresso machine is not available, strong brewed coffee can be a substitute.
- Adjust the amount of condensed milk to taste. For a sweeter drink, add more condensed milk.
- Stir the coffee thoroughly to ensure the condensed milk is fully dissolved before adding ice.
- For a creamier texture, you can use whole milk instead of 1% milk.
- Serve immediately over a generous amount of ice to keep the drink perfectly chilled.
Enjoy your Vietnamese-style iced coffee as a delightful pick-me-up or an after-meal treat. Its rich, sweet flavor and icy coldness make it a standout choice for any coffee enthusiast, especially on warm days.
