Vietnamese Coffee Frost
This Vietnamese Iced Coffee, also known as Ca Phe Sua, is a delightful and potent coffee drink with a unique twist. Brewed in the traditional Vietnamese style using a phin, the coffee is intense and concentrated. It's then served over sweetened condensed milk, which beautifully balances the brew's bitterness. This refreshing beverage is perfect for coffee lovers who enjoy a touch of sweetness in their drink. The combination of strong coffee, creamy condensed milk, and ice creates a truly indulgent and satisfying treat.
Vietnamese Coffee Frost
A potent and concentrated Vietnamese-style coffee served over sweetened condensed milk and ice, creating a delightful and refreshing beverage.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons medium-finely ground coffee
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- Ice
Instructions
- Boil a kettle of water to 205°F (if using an electric, digital kettle).
- Place a heat-resistant rocks glass on a digital scale and add the sweetened condensed milk to the glass. Set a phin over the glass and add the coffee to the phin chamber. Gently shake the phin to even out the grinds, then place the filter press all the way down until it stops, gently packing the grinds.
- Zero out the scale, then add 2 tablespoons (28-30 grams) of boiling water. Let the coffee grinds bloom for 60 seconds (do not stop this step short).
- Slowly add 1/4 cup more of hot water (for a total of 84 grams). Cover the phin with the lid and allow the coffee to drip into the glass (about 5 minutes).
- Stir well, fill the glass with ice, and serve immediately.
