3 Easy Steps to Make Vietnamese Coffee
In today’s post we will discuss another coffee concoction, called Vietnamese coffee.
We will talk about the hot beverage that includes milk, but the same coffee can be prepared as black with sugar or with milk but poured into the tall glass filled with ice.
Having said that, let’s get brewing!
Ingredients needed for Vietnamese Coffee
- Vietnamese Coffee
- Condensed Milk
- Vietnamese Coffee Filter or Phin (pronounced “feen”), that consists of 4 parts:
- Plate
- Brewing chamber
- Filter Press
- Lid
Brewing the Vietnamese Coffee-Step by Step
- First step would be putting about 2 full teaspoons (apprx.0.5 ounce) of condensed milk in your serving cup/glass.
- Next, put the plate of a Phin on the top of your serving cup/glass and then place the brewing chamber on the top of it.
- Put about 3-4 measuring coffee cups or teaspoons of freshly and fine ground dark roast coffee in the brewing chamber. Make sure that coffee is evenly spread in the chamber.
- Drop in the Filter press, do not press it in. Now you are ready.
- Pour in about an ounce of hot water and let it sit for around a minute. If you have one of those smart kettles, warm the water to the temperature of the French Press setting (about 200 degrees), if not, let the water boil and then simply wait a few minutes.
- After a minute, slowly pour in the rest of the water, which should be somewhere, about 5 ounces roughly, cover it with a lid and wait.
Shortly you will see how the brew starts dripping from the brewing chamber and through the plate. Your fresh brewed Vietnamese coffee should be done in about 5 minutes.
Final Thoughts on Brewing Vietnamese Coffee
As we mentioned before, you can simply stir it in the cup and drink it hot, you can drink it without the milk, straight up black or you can pour it over ice.
Keep in mind, that once you pour it over ice your coffee will get diluted and not going to be that robust.
You can experiment with the amounts of condensed milk and coffee to find the taste and sweetness just the way you like it.
But then during a hot summer days it will make a nice and refreshing coffee treat!
Happy Brewing!
