Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk – Cà Phê Sữa Đá

Cà Phê Sữa Đá is a Vietnamese coffee drink where coffee brewed with a phin is combined with sweet condensed milk and ice. It is one of the most famous coffee drinks in Vietnam and a great way to get to know the taste of Vietnamese coffee at home.

Why does condensed milk go well with Vietnamese coffee?

In Vietnamese coffee culture, strong coffee and sweet condensed milk form a classic combination. Condensed milk adds sweetness and richness to the drink, while the distinct flavor of the coffee remains clear.

Cà Phê Sữa Đá is made with a phin

The traditional brewing method is based on the phin filter, where the coffee extracts slowly directly into the glass. When the coffee is combined with condensed milk and ice, a classic Cà Phê Sữa Đá is created.
