How to make Vietnamese Iced Espresso Coffee

Have you ever had that wonderful coffee at a restaurant? Maybe you haven’t, let me tell you about it. This drink is an iced drink that has a hint of cocoa flavor (although there is no chocolate in it). It is cold creamy and smooth. I was not an iced coffee drinker until I tried this (I also don’t like my coffee sweet except for this drink). It is very easy to make.

1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk
Instant espresso
Ice

Place about a 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk in the bottom of a coffee cup, and a cup of very hot espresso on top (I like mine strong,adjust to your liking). Stir until well mixed. Fill tall glass with ice, pour hot mix of espresso and sweetened condensed milk over ice and stir well. Drink and enjoy.
I buy generic sweetened condensed milk at Aldis for less than half the cost of name brand. This drink is several dollars at a restaurant and can be made for a fraction of the cost at home.
