Strain the coffee using a French press, fine mesh sieve, or coffee filter into a large measuring cup or pitcher.
Divide the sweetened condensed milk between two serving glasses, adding 2 tablespoons to each glass.
Pour the freshly brewed hot coffee into each glass, stirring well to ensure the condensed milk is fully dissolved.
Add crushed ice to each glass until it’s almost full.
Top each glass with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or evaporated milk for extra creaminess.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cardamom on top for a hint of aromatic spice.
