Ingredients
2½ teaspoons Sweetened condensed milk
2½ teaspoons Medium-fine ground French roast coffee
as needed Boiling water
as needed Ice cubes
Directions
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the bottom of a coffee cup and set aside.
Place a Vietnamese drip coffee filter on top of the cup. Unscrew the filter basket, add the ground French roast coffee, and screw the basket back in place.
Pour enough boiling water into the filter to fill it completely, then close the lid. Allow the coffee to slowly drip through the filter into the cup with the condensed milk, which takes about 5 minutes.
Once all the coffee has dripped through, carefully remove the filter from the cup and discard the used grounds.
Stir the brewed coffee and sweetened condensed milk together until well combined.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the coffee mixture over the ice, stirring well to chill and blend the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at every major Charlotte chain, and the cost per serving runs about $1–1.50 depending on coffee quality, making it cheaper than a coffee-shop run. The stated time is honest: you brew or heat water, pour, add ice, done—no hidden steps. This is a genuine weeknight winner for someone who wants a cold coffee fix, though it makes only one serving, so a household needs to decide if batching it up the night before works or if it's a pour-per-person operation each morning. Leftovers are not an issue since it's built to be consumed immediately.
