Description
This popular coffee drink requires only three ingredients: coffee, water, and condensed milk. Traditionally, a Vietnamese coffee maker is used to make the coffee, one serving at a time, and the version I’m sharing is very similar. In this version, we’ll use the cold brew technique to give you that same bold flavor and give you an easy “on-demand” single serving so you can make this anytime throughout the week or share it with friends.
Ingredients
Scale
- Coffee Beans or ground coffee (See note 1)
- cold water (from the tap is fine)
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (See note 2)
Instructions
- Make your coffee in your cold brew (see note 3)
- Place the cold coffee brewer on a flat surface and remove the plunger.
- Add coarse ground coffee – we recommend using twice your usual amount.
- Add fresh cold water and stir with a plastic spoon.
- Put the lid on, place the jug in the refrigerator, and let your coffee brew for 12 to 24 hours.
- After brewing, remove from the refrigerator, swap the lid for the plunger, and gently but firmly plunge your coffee.
- Ensure the lid is in the locked position, then pour your delicious cold brew coffee.
- Put the sweetened condensed milk in your glass/travel mug
- Fill your glass with ice cubes. Pour the coffee over the ice and sweetened milk, stir until mixed and enjoy.
Notes
*You should have enough of both coffee and the sweetened condensed milk to make approximately 6 large glasses.
- Be sure to use a boldly flavored dark roast coffee, since the condensed milk and ice will dilute the drink.
- You can add more or less depending on how you like your coffee.
- If you don’t have a cold brew pot, you can substitute brewed espresso for the coffee, but I honestly prefer the cold brew method for this and highly recommend it.
