Recipe - Vietnamese Coffee

Stephen Ceideburg
2 tablespoon Sweetened Condensed Milk
6 ounce Strong Black Coffee

In restaurants and cafe, darkroast coffee is brewed in an individual drip
pot that sits on top of a glass, slowly dripping into sweet milk. it takes
a good 10 to 15 minutes for the water to finish dripping through, and the
coffee is sipped at an equally leisurely pace. Both the coffee and the pots
are available in Southeast Asian markets, but any type of coffee and any
brew method that produces a strong, richtasting cup will do.

Place the milk in the bottom of an 8 ounce glass. Carefully pour in coffee,
trying not to disturb the layer of milk. Stir milk up from bottom and sip
coffee. There will probably be some milk left in the bottom of the glass
when you are finished.

Makes 1 serving.

Variation: This coffee may also be served iced. Add ice cubes on top of the
sweet milk and proceed as above.
