Easy Vietnamese Iced Coffee - featured image

A quick and easy Vietnamese iced coffee recipe combining strong dark roast coffee with creamy sweetened condensed milk, perfect for a refreshing caffeine boost in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons (14 grams) strong ground coffee (Vietnamese coffee like Trung Nguyen or dark roast espresso grind)
  • 130 ml boiling water (about 4.4 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: evaporated milk or coconut milk
  • Optional: pinch of cardamom or cinnamon
  • Optional: a few drops of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Measure 2 tablespoons (14 grams) of ground dark roast coffee and place into your Vietnamese phin or chosen filter. If using a phin, lightly press the coffee down with the filter press.
  2. Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sweetened condensed milk into your glass as the base.
  3. Pour about 30 ml (1 fl oz) of boiling water over the grounds to let them bloom for 30 seconds.
  4. Slowly add 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of boiling water to the filter and let the coffee drip through completely, about 4-5 minutes. Adjust filter press if dripping too fast.
  5. Once dripping is complete, stir the coffee and sweetened condensed milk together until fully combined.
  6. Fill the glass with ice cubes to your liking.
  7. Stir well to chill the coffee evenly and enjoy. Adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk or a splash of evaporated milk if desired.

Notes

Use freshly ground coffee for best flavor. Let water cool for 30 seconds after boiling to avoid bitterness. Adjust drip speed by tightening the filter press. Stir condensed milk into hot coffee for smooth blending. Use plenty of ice to chill and soften coffee intensity. Can substitute coconut condensed milk for dairy-free version.
