Description
Make rich, strong Vietnamese Cold Brew Coffee at home. This recipe is simple and delivers that intense, smooth flavor perfect for an iced coffee treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coarsely ground dark roast coffee beans (Vietnamese style preferred)
- 4 cups cold water
- Sweetened condensed milk (to taste)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine the ground coffee and cold water in a large jar or pitcher.
- Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
- Cover the container and let it steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Longer steeping creates stronger coffee.
- Pour the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter to remove the grounds. Press lightly on the grounds to extract liquid, but do not force too much sediment through.
- Discard the grounds. You now have cold brew concentrate.
- To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Pour a small amount of sweetened condensed milk into the glass.
- Top with the cold brew concentrate. Adjust the ratio of coffee to milk to suit your preference.
- Add a splash of cold water if the concentrate is too strong for you. Stir and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For the most authentic taste, use coffee beans roasted for Vietnamese preparation.
- If you prefer a less intense flavor, use a slightly coarser grind.
- You can store leftover cold brew concentrate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
