It was really cold when I got up this morning: -11° with wind-chills of around -25°! I decided that it would be a great day for a cup of Vietnamese-style coffee. It is very sweet, rich and creamy, just the way to start a cold day.
1. Boil some water.
2. Gather supples:
(According to a blog post I read at Heavy Table the favored coffee for this is Café du Monde brand.
I drove all the way to New Orleans
I have not found the decaffeinated kind outside of NOLA though.)
3. Add coffee to phin:
(I am betting that you could make this in a French press or a regular coffee pot.
I think you would need to make it fairly strong though.)
4. Pour water into phin and let steep:
(I should have added the milk first, but I forgot.)
6. Stir:
7. Add a bit more water:
(Okay, normally you wouldn't do this, but it was so cold in my house that the coffee was cold when I went to drink it.
Also it was really strong, so I needed to dilute it a bit.)
Here are some other tutorials on how to make Vietnamese coffee:
Yum! Coffee with sweetened condensed milk...delicious!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting way of brewing coffee, I haven't heard of it before - and in the glass cup you can see the progress of the brewing procedure...
ReplyDeleteOh, like almost always, I have to recall that -11° are measured in Fahrenheit there, not Celsius. So, it is indeed a very cold day!
That looks just about right. This is also wonderful served over ice cubes. I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer it over ice, but is way too cold in Minnesota right now to be contemplating iced drinks. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Cafe Du Monde coffee too! Hmmmm thanks for sharing!
