How to make a good cup of coffee

One of ways to make the deep flavor of Vietnamese coffee as well as weasel coffee is achiveved by using condensed milk as a creamer and sweetener, and a single-cup brewing process, which is a beloved ritual in Vietnam. Ground coffee is put in a special metal filter, which is put atop a cup filled with a generous amount of condensed milk.Boiling water is poured into the metal filter and allowed to slowly with a spoon, resulting in an incredibly rich, smooth, and wonderfully sweet concoction called café sua da. Most Vietnamese prefer this mixture served over a tall glass of ice, and there is hardly a better way to enjoy iced coffee. Vietnamese coffee is not for the faint of heart though, and usually much stronger than Western style coffee.

    Add 20ml of boiling water and let it drip through the filter.
8. Add 45ml of boiling water.
9. Put the lid on the metal cup and wait until all the water has passed through the filter, about 5 minutes.

10. Remove metal coffee filter from tea cup.
11. Stir coffee and condensed milk with a spoon until well mixed.
12. Pour coffee over ice and enjoy!
