Step 1

Place the Vietnamese coffee filter on top of a mug or heat-proof glass so the coffee has somewhere to collect. If you don’t have a Vietnamese coffee filter, you can prepare the coffee using a French press.

Step 2

Unscrew the press from inside the filter. Add 2 tablespoons dark-roast ground coffee. Screw the press back on so that it compacts the coffee grounds. It should feel snug when you try to turn it, but still have just a little give so the coffee has room to bloom.

Step 3

Pour just enough hot water into the coffee filter to soak the grounds. Let it sit for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add enough hot water to fill the filter. Place the cover on the filter and let the coffee brew. It should take about 5 minutes for the coffee to finish brewing.

Step 5

Add the sweetened condensed milk to a tall glass. Stir in the brewed coffee. Add the ice. Serve.
