Vietnamese Style Cold Brew Coffee

No reviews

This popular coffee drink requires only three ingredients: coffee, water, and condensed milk. Traditionally, a Vietnamese coffee maker is used to make the coffee, one serving at a time, and the version I’m sharing is very similar. In this version, we’ll use the cold brew technique to give you that same bold flavor and give you an easy “on-demand” single serving so you can make this anytime throughout the week or share it with friends.

  • Total Time: 12 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 drinks 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • Coffee Beans or ground coffee (See note 1)
  • cold water (from the tap is fine)
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (See note 2)

Instructions

  1. Make your coffee in your cold brew (see note 3)
  2. Place the cold coffee brewer on a flat surface and remove the plunger.
  3. Add coarse ground coffee – we recommend using twice your usual amount.
  4. Add fresh cold water and stir with a plastic spoon.
  5. Put the lid on, place the jug in the refrigerator, and let your coffee brew for 12 to 24 hours.
  6. After brewing, remove from the refrigerator, swap the lid for the plunger, and gently but firmly plunge your coffee.
  7. Ensure the lid is in the locked position, then pour your delicious cold brew coffee.
  8. Put the sweetened condensed milk in your glass/travel mug
  9. Fill your glass with ice cubes. Pour the coffee over the ice and sweetened milk, stir until mixed and enjoy.

Equipment

Notes

*You should have enough of both coffee and the sweetened condensed milk to make approximately 6 large glasses.

  1. Be sure to use a boldly flavored dark roast coffee, since the condensed milk and ice will dilute the drink.
  2. You can add more or less depending on how you like your coffee.
  3. If you don’t have a cold brew pot, you can substitute brewed espresso for the coffee, but I honestly prefer the cold brew method for this and highly recommend it.
