Cà PHê SữA đá (VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE)

Steps:

• In a heat-resistant glass, pour in the condensed milk (you can add more or less to your liking).
• To the coffee phin filter "cup," add 1 heaped tablespoon of coarse ground coffee. Gently tap to ensure the coffee grounds are evenly spread out. Place the top disc on and carefully screw it over the filter "cup" with your fingers. Use a metal spoon and continue to tighten until you feel some resistance.
• Place the coffee phin over top of the glass with the condensed milk.
• Carefully pour a little hot water into the coffee phin and observe how quickly the water drips through. If it's dripping quickly, carefully use a spoon to tighten the filter. (Note: the coffee filter is metal so it will be hot). If no coffee is dripping through, then carefully use the spoon to loosen the filter a bit.
• When the coffee is dripping at a slow rate, add the rest of the hot water and place the cover over top. (It should take about 4-5 minutes for the coffee to finish dripping through)
• In the meantime, add ice cubes to a tall glass.
• Once the coffee has finished dripping, remove the phin. Stir the condensed milk and coffee together, and pour over the ice cubes.
• Add a straw and enjoy immediately.

VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE

Steps:

• Place coffee grounds in a heatproof container. Slowly pour boiling water over the grounds in a circular motion to evenly saturate. Do not stir; let steep 5 minutes.
• Line a coffee cone with a paper filter and place the cone over another heatproof container.
• Slowly pour the steeped coffee through the filter, allowing all the liquid to drip through completely. (You should have about 2 cups of strong coffee. See Tip.) Discard the filter and coffee grounds. Stir the condensed milk into the coffee until well blended.
• Fill 4 glasses with ice cubes. Divide the coffee mixture among the glasses and serve immediately, or transfer to the refrigerator, where it will keep, covered, up to 3 days. Serve over ice.

Steps:

• Put the condensed milk into a coffee cup. Place the filter on top of the cup. Unscrew the filter, add the coffee grounds, and screw the filter back on. Pour in enough boiling water to fill the filter. Close the lid and let the coffee slowly drip into the cup. Remove the filter and stir the coffee and milk together. Pour the coffee mixture into a glass of ice and stir to chill. Serve.
