Vietnamese-style iced coffee

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.

Ingredients:

1 cup espresso coffee
230g
1/2 cup condensed milk
120g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g

Instructions:

1. Brew Espresso:
- 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.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Add Milk:
- Pour in 1/4 cup of milk (1% fat) to the coffee mixture. Stir again until the milk is thoroughly mixed.
4. Cool Down:
- 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.
5. Serve Over Ice:
- Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Divide the coffee mixture evenly between the two glasses, pouring it over the ice.
6. Stir and Enjoy:
- 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.
