Ingredients:
- 90gm of 100% Vietnamese Robusta coffee
- 30gm of condensed milk
- 150 ml of hot water
- Whole cup of ice
Method:
- To brew the coffee, we use a Vietnamese drip coffee filter and Vietnamese coffee. Pour the coffee into the filter after measuring it out evenly. Avoid pressing too firmly as this will cause the coffee to spill into the coffee filter’s holes and clog them. According to the measurement, pour the condensed milk into the mug.
- Pouring over the heated flask after measuring the boiling water. 30ml or more of hot water should be poured into the filter, which should be above the glass, and then the coffee should bloom for 5 seconds. When the water releases CO2 from the coffee and the grounds expand, this is known as the bloom stage of the brewing process.
- Next, gently squeeze the filter to squeeze the blooming coffee. The remaining water should now be added to the filter slowly, at which point the coffee will start to trickle into your cup. Wait for the coffee to finish dripping for 3 to 4 minutes. After removing the filter, whisk in the condensed milk.
- Pour Vietnamese coffee over a cup that has been filled with ice, swirl, and then sip away.
