Vietnamese Iced Coffee
I love my coffee. After drinking a tall glass of water then hot water with freshly squeezed lemon juice 🍋, I move on to having coffee. I can drink it until mid-afternoon. It keeps me going throughout the day with all the tasks I have to do. During the summer, it’s another story. My coffee consumption reduces considerably especially when it’s hot outside unless I make myself a cold one…
Here in Canada 🍁, we have a popular fast food chain called Tim Hortons that makes iced coffee which is quite popular during the summer months. I really enjoy it but there’s another one that I came across years ago when I was living in Toronto that I find even more delicious and it’s Vietnamese Iced Coffee!
There are two different kinds of Vietnamese Iced Coffee but the one I’m featuring in this episode is called “cà phê sữa đá” which is made with sweetened condensed milk 🥛. The other one is made without the milk, making it obviously less sweet.
It’s very simple to make but what you need is called a “phin cà phê” which is basically a coffee filter. The alternative method that I will show you in the video 🎥 is using a French press. I find that either one works perfectly well for Vietnamese Iced Coffee.
Now, let’s talk about the actual coffee ☕. You can use espresso or any other preferred coffee grains. I prefer using Arabica coffee also known as Arabian coffee but as I said, use what you like.
This rich, creamy, cold beverage is great on hot summer days 🌞. It’s so easy to make and you’ll be amazed with the results. This Vietnamese Iced Coffee is something you definitely have to try this season… Other great cold beverage recipes you should also try are my Lemon Iced Tea, Agua de Jamaica or Strawberry Agua Fresca 🍓, and Homemade Lemonade.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. sweetened condensed milk
- 1 large scoop of Vietnamese coffee or espresso
- 8 ounces extremely hot water (not boiling)
- 6-8 large ice cubes
Directions
- In a tall mason jar, add sweetened condensed milk. Place the phin saucer on top of the jar and then the brewing chamber; add a scoop of coffee. Shake it a little to distribute the coffee grinds uniformly.
- Place the press in before pouring in a little bit of hot water. Wait until the coffee grinds have absorbed the water before filling up the brewing chamber. Place the lid on top and let the coffee brew for 5 minutes.
- When it’s done, stir very well until the coffee and condensed milk are well blended.
- Transfer the hot coffee mixture into a tall glass filled with ice cubes; stir to blend.
