Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons ground coffee Vietnamese style
- 1 - 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz water 1 cup, boiling
- Pinch salt optional
Instructions
- Place the phin filter on top of a mug and scoop the coffee grounds into the filter in an even layer. Be careful not to shake the filter so coffee grounds don’t spill into the mug.
- Gently press the coffee grounds in the filter (this will slow down the drip process for a more flavorful coffee).
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of boiling water onto the coffee grounds and wait for about 5 seconds to allow the coffee grounds to “bloom”.
- Slowly pour the boiling water over the coffee. Wait for about 5 minutes, or until the coffee finishes dripping.
- Stir in condensed milk & a pinch of salt (if desired for a subtle sweet-salty flavor), taste, & add more condensed milk if you like your drink sweeter. Pour over a cup of ice. Enjoy!

Notes
- Condensed Milk: Condensed milk adds sweetness & creaminess at the same time. You can adjust to your taste buds! If you want more creaminess, without the additional sweetness, you can add heavy cream or milk. Scroll to the blog post above for the most popular condensed milk brands & flavor profiles!
- Coffee Grounds: Medium or course coffee grounds are best so it's less likely to slip through the phin filter. Trung Nguyen, Cafe Du Monde, & Nguyen Coffee Supply are the most popular brands. Check out the blog post above for flavor profiles to choose from!
