Recipe: Iced Espresso with Condensed Milk (Cafe Sua Da, Vietnamese)
BeveragesICED ESPRESSO WITH CONDENSED MILK (CAFE SUA DA)
"Coffee beans first came to Vietnam during the French occupation of the country. Cafe sua da (pronounced cafe soo da) is another example of the Vietnamese taking a foreign food and making it their own. Sweetened condensed milk - the Vietnamese favorite ingredient for sweetening drinks and desserts - is combined here with intensely strong coffee to make a delicious drink. You can get a plastic cup of it in any establishment that sells food - restaurants, delis, bakeries, you name it. You'll see everyone ordering and drinking the beverage throughout the day. At a price of $1.00, this certainly is better priced than any Starbucks blend."
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup crushed ice
1/3 cup strong hot espresso, preferably from slow espresso drip
Fill the bottom of a large cup or tall glass with the condensed milk. Add the crushed ice to the glass. Pour the hot espresso over the ice. Stir until everything is blended. Leave the spoon in the glass because as the ice melts, you will need to keep stirring to mix the ingredients together.
Makes 1 serving
