If you are a coffee lover, you know that no beverage can equal coffee. We are one of those strict coffee drinkers who would not drink anything other than filter coffee. Realizing that there is much more than just filter coffee, we widened our coffee selections and drink coffee in many different ways. We still need the Morning filter coffee, but evenings are enjoying coffee in other ways. Summer means iced coffee and today I tried the Ca Phe Sua Da which is very simple to put together and so flavorful. Kids in coffee-drinking households develop an affinity for coffee flavor. My boys love coffee and they get a little drizzle of coffee as a weekend bonus. When I brewed coffee this morning to make the Ca Phe Sua Da, my boys wanted to have a taste of the coffee. It turned out that before I could blink, they both finished the whole glass. They both took turns and drank the whole tall glass full of Iced coffee. Another Iced Coffee that we all enjoy is the Iced Caramel Macchiato. The best part about Vietnamese Iced Coffee is the cream part. Sweetened condensed milk is used in the coffee and that adds richness and a great flavor to the coffee. You can make your own condensed milk at home. Check it out here! Apart from this, all we need is good quality coffee. I did not specifically use Vietnamese coffee powder. I just used the regular Columbian Medium roast coffee that we use for the filter coffee. One more fun addition to this Iced coffee would be adding the boba pearls. I love boba pearls and it is so much to make these cute little pearls at home. If you know me, I have a collection of assortment of coffee brewers. I used one of the stovetop coffee brewers that I have to brew the coffee today and it was beautiful. I saw in a few videos that in Vietnamese households, they have a single-serve coffee brewer that just drips directly over the glass. This particular brewer I used has 3 layers. The bottom layer holds water which gets heated. It has a mesh cup inside it that holds that coffee powder. The top part is where the brewed coffee drips. The water boils in the bottom, rises up through the coffee mesh and the brewed coffee collects in the top part. This is a great coffee brewer to use for single servings. After that, all we have to do is mix with condensed milk and pour over ice in a tall glass. Make sure that you brew a strong coffee as it gets diluted as we pour over the ice.
