Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground dark roast coffee
- 120 milliliters Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 120 milliliters Hot water
- 1 teaspoon Sugar or low-calorie sweetener (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Set up a Vietnamese phin coffee filter (or a similar drip coffee filter) on top of a heat-safe glass or mug.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of ground dark roast coffee to the filter chamber, and gently spread it out evenly.
Step 3
Place the press disk inside the filter and twist slightly to tamp the coffee down, but do not over-compress.
Step 4
Boil water and allow it to cool slightly for about 30 seconds. Pour a small amount (about 20 milliliters) of the hot water into the filter to bloom the coffee and allow it to sit for 30 seconds.
Step 5
Add the remaining hot water to the filter chamber until it is full, and cover with the lid. Allow the coffee to drip through slowly (approximately 3–5 minutes).
Step 6
While the coffee is brewing, warm the low-fat milk in a small pan over low heat or microwave it for about 30 seconds. Do not let it boil.
Step 7
Once the coffee has finished dripping, stir in the warmed low-fat milk until combined. Add sugar or a low-calorie sweetener as desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat Vietnamese coffee!
