Vietnamese Iced Coffee

To prepare Vietnamese Coffee, a low-tech brewing style is employed which uses a simple metal filter, called a phin. Just add hot water at the table side and relax while your coffee is brewed. Serve sweetened hot or over ice. This coffee filter would make an unusual gift idea for coffee lovers.

Ingredients & Equipment:

• 2 tablespoons ground Vietnamese Coffee
• 1/2 cup boiling hot water
• 1-2 tablespoons of Sweet Condensed Milk
• 1/2 cup ice cubes or crushed ice
• Vietnamese Coffee Filter

Preparation:

1. In a stainless steel Vietnamese Coffee Filter, add 2 tablespoons of Vietnamese Coffee. Screw the smaller filter into the coffee filter.
2. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Sweet Condensed Milk into a drinking glass. Place filter on top of the drinking glass. Pour hot water into the filter.
3. Once hot water has filtered through, remove the filter from the glass. Stir the milk to dissolve into the coffee. Add ice with coffee and stir again.
