This coffee Cà Phê Sữa Đá can be addicting like any delicious drink to me, so I had to stop it altogether. But recently sister Koko text-ed that the Borden (green label) condensed milk tastes just like the regular condense milk except it is zero fat, so the light bulb came on. I had to try it with Cà Phê Sữa Đá! And if the label is correct, then I can now enjoy my Vietnamese Ice Coffee without the guilt of consuming fat.
How to prepare Cà Phê Sữa Đá, Vietnamese Ice Coffee
1) Get your favorite coffee, ground it for a carafe press. Or you can buy the real french roast Vietnamese Cao Nguyen Cà Phê. Shown below, the blue lid can.
2)Remove the middle filter inside the filter and add 3 tablespoons of coffee. Press the inside part into the filter.
3) Pour boiling hot water until the water level reaches the top of the filter rim.
4) Wait for the coffee to drip down, until there is no more water in the filter.
5) Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of condensed milk.
6) Stir in the condensed milk until it completely dissolves.
7) Add the crushed ice and enjoy.
Note: some people put the condense milk in first and let it sit before they brew the coffee. I always like to see how my coffee turns out first before I can decide whether I need to add two or three tablespoons of condensed milk.

Looks scrumptious and I will save this for summer when it is hot enough to cool me down..Right now, hot coffee is what I'm holding on for warm :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how cold it is where you are but, I guess for CAians, we have it all year round.
DeleteThis sounds yummy! I love love coffee drinks! My hubby just bought me a Keurig coffee maker for Valentine's day, it makes the perfect cup of coffee. I've actually been using the new Starbuck's Blonde that you have pictured. I'd love to try this recipe. Thanks for posting! I'm stopping by from the Marvelous Monday's hop!

I do like the Starbucks Blonde, it is pretty smooth. With this coffee taste though, Peet's Major Dickenson is the better choice. How fun, the Keurig is one of my temptations.
DeleteI'm not much of a coffee drinker, but this looks delish!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I can say the same. I am a fan of all evils.
Deletehmmm, will look into this brand of condensed milk, i hope they did also added more calcium and Vit D, since I found condense milk have lower vit D and calcium content than most 1% milk. I love love Vietnamese coffee, and wish I could have it everyday.
ReplyDeleteThey do not have any vitamin D! A question I always wondered. Would it cost a lot more, I wondered?
DeleteHmm I'd love to taste that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing you recipe :)
I learned about the fun of condensed milk when I was a child. I still want to taste it but refrain.
But my kids don't know and I wont tell :D
Yes. The condense milk can be addicting. I love it with coffee and 7 layer candy. :-)
