Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground dark roast coffee
- 120 milliliters Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 120 milliliters Hot water
- 1 teaspoon Sugar or low-calorie sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Set up a Vietnamese phin coffee filter (or a similar drip coffee filter) on top of a heat-safe glass or mug.
Add 2 tablespoons of ground dark roast coffee to the filter chamber, and gently spread it out evenly.
Place the press disk inside the filter and twist slightly to tamp the coffee down, but do not over-compress.
Boil water and allow it to cool slightly for about 30 seconds. Pour a small amount (about 20 milliliters) of the hot water into the filter to bloom the coffee and allow it to sit for 30 seconds.
Add the remaining hot water to the filter chamber until it is full, and cover with the lid. Allow the coffee to drip through slowly (approximately 3–5 minutes).
While the coffee is brewing, warm the low-fat milk in a small pan over low heat or microwave it for about 30 seconds. Do not let it boil.
Once the coffee has finished dripping, stir in the warmed low-fat milk until combined. Add sugar or a low-calorie sweetener as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat Vietnamese coffee!
