Ingredients

2 tablespoons Robusta coffee grounds

6 tablespoons Hot water

1½ tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk

3 tablespoons Canned coconut milk, shaken

3 tablespoons Whole milk

Ice cubes

Directions

  1. In a small cup or Vietnamese drip coffee maker (phin), combine the robusta coffee grounds with hot water. Allow the coffee to steep and drip for about 3–5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has passed through, creating a strong concentrate.

  2. While the coffee is brewing, pour the sweetened condensed milk into a tall glass.

  3. Add the shaken canned coconut milk and whole milk to the glass with the condensed milk and stir to combine.

  4. Fill the glass with ice cubes.

  5. Once the coffee has finished dripping, pour the hot coffee concentrate into the glass with the creamy milk mixture and stir well until fully combined.

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Vietnamese iced coconut coffee.

All ingredients are reliably stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart in Charlotte, with condensed milk and coconut milk available in mainstream grocery aisles. The ten-minute time is honest if you brew strong coffee ahead of time, though a reader making it on the fly will add five minutes of cooling or waiting for cold brew. Cost per serving lands around $1.50 to $2.00 depending on milk choices and coffee brand, which is reasonable for a daily specialty drink. This is a single-serving dessert beverage rather than a meal component, and while it reheats poorly, it's designed to be consumed immediately over ice.
