Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dark roast coffee grounds
- 6 ounces Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or low-carb sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Heat 6 ounces of water to just below boiling. If using a kettle, aim for around 200°F for optimal coffee brewing.
Step 2
Place 2 tablespoons of dark roast coffee grounds in a Vietnamese coffee Phin filter, or use a French press if a Phin filter is not available.
Step 3
Pour a small amount of hot water (approximately 2 tablespoons) into the filter to moisten the coffee grounds. Let it bloom for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Slowly pour the remaining hot water through the filter and allow the coffee to drip. If using a French press, let the grounds steep for 4 minutes before pressing.
Step 5
While the coffee brews, prepare the low-carb condensed milk substitute. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, mix 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons of powdered erythritol, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whisk consistently until the mixture slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and allow it to cool briefly.
Step 6
Fill a glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Step 7
Pour the brewed coffee over the ice.
Step 8
Add 2-3 tablespoons of the low-carb condensed milk substitute to the glass, stirring gently to combine. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less of the substitute.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
