Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground dark roast coffee (preferably Vietnamese coffee like Trung Nguyen or similar)
- 6 ounces Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened condensed coconut milk (or any vegan condensed milk)
- 1 cup Ice cubes (optional, for iced coffee)
Instructions
Set up a Vietnamese phin filter (traditional coffee drip maker) over a sturdy glass or cup.
Add 2 tablespoons of ground dark roast coffee into the phin filter and spread it evenly.
Place the phin filter's tamper on top of the coffee grounds to keep them in place.
Boil water and let it cool slightly to about 195–205°F (90–96°C). Pour a small amount (about 1–2 tablespoons) of hot water over the coffee grounds to bloom the coffee and let it sit for about 30 seconds.
Gently pour the remaining hot water (6 ounces) into the phin filter and cover it with the lid. Allow the coffee to drip slowly into the cup; this process should take about 5–7 minutes.
Once the coffee has fully brewed, remove the phin filter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed coconut milk (or your preferred vegan condensed milk) until fully combined.
For hot coffee, serve immediately. For iced coffee, fill a glass with 1 cup of ice cubes and pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
Enjoy your rich and creamy Vegan Vietnamese Coffee!
