Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground Vietnamese coffee
- 4 ounces Boiling water
- 4 ounces Unsweetened almond milk (or any sugar-free milk of choice)
- 4 drops Liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
1. Begin by setting up your Vietnamese coffee phin filter over a heat-resistant glass or mug.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of ground Vietnamese coffee to the phin filter and lightly press the coffee grounds with the filter press (do not compact the grounds too tightly).
3. Pour about 1 ounce of boiling water into the phin filter to 'bloom' the coffee grounds. Let it sit for 20–30 seconds.
4. Slowly pour the remaining 3 ounces of boiling water into the phin filter. Cover the filter with its lid and let the coffee drip slowly into the glass. This process should take about 4–5 minutes.
5. Once the coffee has finished dripping, remove the phin filter and set it aside.
6. Stir in 4 drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener into the hot coffee. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
7. Add 4 ounces of unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred sugar-free milk) to the coffee.
8. Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes, then pour the sweetened coffee-milk mixture over the ice.
9. Stir well to combine, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon for stirring.
