Instructions:
The Base Recipe (Hot Coffee):
Boil 2 cups of water.
Add 2 tablespoon Condensed milk in a heat-proof glass container, like in the picture.
Remove the lid and the inner filter from the Phin. Add 2 tablespoon of coffee grounds to the press.
Tap the side of the filter to evenly distribute the coffee grounds.
Pour a splash of hot water in the filter and allow the coffee grounds to "bloom" for 20-30 seconds.
Then, place the filter press until a bit tight against the grounds (but don't make it too tight otherwise, it will make the drip slower.)
Fill the phin filter with hot water all the way. The coffee should slowly drip into the glass below.
When brewing is complete, remove the filter and stir well. Serve immediately if enjoying hot.
Vietnamese Iced Coffee:
Follow the steps above, then slowly pour the mixture over a glass of ice. Stir and enjoy.
Shaken Vietnamese Iced Coffee:
Complete the steps for hot coffee above. Pour the mixture in a tall glass or cocktail shaker with about 1 cup of ice. Shake until foamy. Serve over ice.
Notes:
1.) You can purchase the Vietnamese Phin coffee filter at Amazon or at your local Asian market or you can use a Moka pot or an Espresso.2.) Robusta beans are preferred for their bitterness that counterbalances the sweetness of the condensed milk.
