Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Milk

What is Vietnamese iced coffee

Vietnamese iced coffee, or “cà phê sữa đá,” is a refreshing and popular drink in Vietnam, made with strong, dark roast coffee (Robusta) and sweetened condensed milk. It is typically served over ice, hence the “đá,” which means “ice” in Vietnamese.

Vietnamese iced-coffee with milk is what it says it is. A super-concentrated drip coffee on the bottom of a cup mixed with an equal amount of super-sweet condensed milk and a generous amount of ice cubes. As you mix the three together, the ice cubes melt and the resulting liquid becomes what is famously known as traditional Vietnamese Iced Milk Coffee. Keep in mind, that despite the addition of sugary milk, the Vietnamese coffee is still super strong and fairly bitter.

Needless to say, Vietnamese iced coffee is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for hot local (Vietnamese) weather or as a pick-me-up any time of day.
