Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Coarsely ground Vietnamese coffee
• 6 ounces Boiling water
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened condensed milk (made from milk alternatives like coconut or almond milk, if desired)
• 1 cup Ice cubes (optional, for iced version)

Directions

Step 1

Place 2 tablespoons of coarsely ground Vietnamese coffee into the base of a traditional Vietnamese coffee filter (phin).

Step 2

Press the coffee grounds gently with the filter's metal press to even out the surface, but do not compact too tightly.

Step 3

Position the filter assembly over a heat-proof glass or mug.

Step 4

Pour about 1-2 tablespoons of boiling water into the filter to bloom the coffee grounds. Allow it to sit for 20-30 seconds to let the coffee expand and release flavor.

Step 5

Slowly pour the remaining 6 ounces of boiling water over the coffee grounds. Place the lid on the filter and allow the coffee to drip into the glass over the next 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Once the dripping is complete, stir in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Adjust the amount based on your desired level of creaminess and sweetness.

Step 7

For the iced version, fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes and pour the prepared coffee over the ice. Stir well to chill.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
