How to make iced Baileys Vietnamese coffee?
What you will need:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup of freshly brewed strong coffee (preferably using Robusta beans)
- Ice cubes
- 1 to 2 ounces of Baileys Irish Cream (adjust to taste)
How to make it:
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk in a cup or a glass.
- If you’re using a traditional Vietnamese drip coffee maker (a phin filter), place 2 to 3 tablespoons of medium-ground coffee into the filter. Tighten the top screen, then place the filter over a glass or cup.
- Pour a little hot water into the filter to allow the coffee grounds to bloom. Wait for about 30 seconds.
- Fill the filter with hot water and cover it with its lid. Allow the coffee to drip through the filter into the glass or cup. This process will take about 5 minutes.
- Allow the coffee mixture to cool to room temperature. You can also place it in the refrigerator for a faster cooling process.
- Fill a separate glass with ice cubes and pour the mix of coffee and condensed milk over the ice.
- Add Baileys on the top. Give it one good stir and your Baileys Vietnamese coffee is ready.
