Vietnamese Coffee is a little different than traditional iced coffee. The flavor is a strong brewed coffee combined with sweetened condensed milk and crushed ice. I must say… it’s an addicting kind of iced coffee. You’ll want to make it often!

What kind of coffee is best to use for Vietnamese Iced Coffee:

The preferred coffee for this is a combination of Trung Nguyen Premium Blend and Café Du Monde Coffee with Chicory. It’s kind of an investment to buy both. But honestly– if you really love coffee, buy both of them! If you don’t want to buy these two coffees, you can use all regular dark-roast coffee, such as French roast.

How to make Vietnamese Iced Coffee:

The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post. Place a Vietnamese coffee filter on top of a mug or heat-proof glass so the coffee has somewhere to collect. If you don’t have a Vietnamese coffee filter, you can prepare the coffee using a French press. 

Unscrew the press from inside the filter. Add 2 tablespoons dark-roast ground coffee. Screw the press back on so that it compacts the coffee grounds. It should feel snug when you try to turn it, but still have just a little give so the coffee has room to bloom. 

Pour just enough hot water into the coffee filter to soak the grounds. Let it sit for 30 seconds. 

Add enough hot water to fill the filter. Place the cover on the filter and let the coffee brew. It should take about 5 minutes for the coffee to finish brewing.
