Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dark roast coffee grounds
- 6 ounces Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or low-carb sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Heat 6 ounces of water to just below boiling. If using a kettle, aim for around 200°F for optimal coffee brewing.
Place 2 tablespoons of dark roast coffee grounds in a Vietnamese coffee Phin filter, or use a French press if a Phin filter is not available.
Pour a small amount of hot water (approximately 2 tablespoons) into the filter to moisten the coffee grounds. Let it bloom for about 30 seconds.
Slowly pour the remaining hot water through the filter and allow the coffee to drip. If using a French press, let the grounds steep for 4 minutes before pressing.
While the coffee brews, prepare the low-carb condensed milk substitute. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, mix 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons of powdered erythritol, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whisk consistently until the mixture slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and allow it to cool briefly.
Fill a glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Pour the brewed coffee over the ice.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of the low-carb condensed milk substitute to the glass, stirring gently to combine. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less of the substitute.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
