Vietnamese Coffee

•Vietnamese ground coffee

•Sweetened condensed milk (optional)

•Vietnamese metal coffee filter

•Small glass

•Large glass with ice and a long spoon (optional)

Steps

1. Add condensed milk (optional)
Pour some condensed milk in a small glass, 1 to 3 tablespoons,
depending on how sweet you like your coffee.

2. Add coffee to filter
Unscrew the filter insert. Add about 2 tablespoons of coffee. Screw insert back in to pack grounds tightly, then unscrew half a turn.

3. Add hot water
Place filter on a small glass and fill to brim with boiling water.

It should take about 4-5 minutes for water to filter completely through. If it drips too quickly, tighten the screw.

4. Stir
Remove filter and stir. Coffee should be the color of suede.

5. Serve

The traditional way to have Vietnamese coffee is with a hot jasmine tea chaser.
