Let's dive into making a delightful Vietnamese iced coffee, a summer favorite enjoyed worldwide. We'll be creating a delicious, creamy version with sweetened condensed milk, but you can easily substitute any alternative milk you prefer. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 6-7 ice cubes
- 10 ml of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 double shot of espresso
- 200 ml of dairy milk (or any alternative milk)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ice: Start by adding 6-7 ice cubes to a blender. Don’t worry about the ice diluting the drink; blending it with the milk will ensure a consistent, enjoyable texture without watering down the flavor.
2. Condensed Milk and Espresso: Pour 10 ml of sweetened condensed milk into a separate container. Add the double shot of espresso and mix well. This step ensures the condensed milk fully integrates with the espresso, enhancing the sweetness and depth of flavor.
3. Blend the Ingredients: Pour the espresso-condensed milk mixture into the blender with the ice. Add 200 ml of dairy milk (or your preferred alternative milk). Blend everything until smooth. This process not only mixes the ingredients thoroughly but also crushes the ice for a perfect consistency.
4. Serve: Pour the blended iced coffee into a glass. The result is a refreshing, creamy iced coffee with the unique sweetness of condensed milk, reminiscent of traditional Vietnamese iced coffee.
Notes:
- Consistency: Blending the ice helps maintain a smooth consistency, making it easier to drink without large ice chunks.
- Flavor: The sweetened condensed milk adds a rich, sweet tone without overpowering the coffee’s natural characteristics, unlike some artificial syrups.
And there you have it, your Vietnamese iced coffee is ready to enjoy! This method offers a quick and delicious way to beat the heat while savoring the rich flavors of your favorite coffee.
