Recipe Introduction
This Vietnamese delight is traditionally served with sweetened condensed or evaporated milk
List of Ingredients
2 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk
6 ounces Strong Black Coffee, *see Notes
sweetened condensed or evaporated milkRecipe
Place the milk in the bottom of an 8 ounce glass. Carefully pour in coffee, trying not to disturb the layer of milk. Stir milk up from bottom and sip coffee. There will probably be some milk left in the bottom of the glass when you are finished. Makes 1 serving.
Notes:
In restaurants and cafe, dark-roast coffee is brewed in an individual drip pot that sits on top of a glass, slowly dripping into sweet milk. it takes a good 10 to 15 minutes for the water to finish dripping through, and the coffee is sipped at an equally leisurely pace. Both the coffee and the pots are available in Southeast Asian markets, but any type of coffee and any brew- method that produces a strong, rich-tasting cup will do.
VARIATION: This coffee may also be served iced. Add ice cubes on top of the sweet milk and proceed as above.
MY NOTES: I use a Rich French Roast & sweetened condensed milk when I make this at home. You can find Vietnamese Espresso (Buon Me Thuot) in most any Oriental Market or some restaurants will even sell it to you.
