Crafting Vietnamese Iced Coffee with TDRC Specialty Arabica and Moka Pot
Indulging in a cup of Vietnamese Iced Coffee is a delightful journey of flavors, and creating it with the right blend and method elevates the experience. At The Dark Roast Company, we’re thrilled to share how to make this iconic beverage using our Specialty Arabica coffee and our signature Moka Pot.
What You’ll Need:
– TDRC Specialty Arabica coffee beans
– Moka Pot
– Sweetened condensed milk
– Ice cubes
Steps to Brew Vietnamese Iced Coffee:
Choose the Ideal Coffee:
Begin by picking up your preferred roast from our Specialty Arabica options, ground to a medium-fine consistency. Vietnamese Coffee is usually better enjoyed with darker roasts – we recommend our TDRC Signature Dark Roast.
Brew with the Moka Pot:
Using our TDRC Moka Pot, brew a strong espresso-like coffee by following our simple yet detailed tutorial. For this drink, let the extraction go on for longer than in our espresso tutorial, collecting enough coffee to just about fill the upper chamber. The Moka Pot will deliver a bold and intense brew that forms the foundation of your Vietnamese Iced Coffee, but feel free to brew using any other method that delivers an intense and strong yield depending on the equipment you have available.
Sweeten to Taste:
Once the coffee is ready, add sweetened condensed milk to a glass. Two tablespoons is a good place to start. The amount can vary based on your preference for sweetness. Vietnamese coffee is known for its sweet profile, so adjust accordingly.
Pour the Coffee:
Pour the freshly brewed coffee from the Moka Pot over the condensed milk. The combination of strong coffee and creamy sweetness is what makes Vietnamese Iced Coffee so delightful.
Stir and Chill:
Gently stir the coffee and condensed milk mixture to ensure it’s well combined. Let it sit and cool for a few minutes.
Add Ice:
Fill a separate glass with ice cubes, leaving enough space to pour the coffee.
Combine and Enjoy:
Carefully pour the coffee and condensed milk mixture over the ice. The contrast of hot coffee with the cold ice is a hallmark of Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Stir and sip, letting the flavors dance on your palate.
The result is a refreshing, sweet, and invigorating Vietnamese Iced Coffee made with the rich flavors of TDRC Specialty Arabica coffee. It’s the perfect companion for a hot day or whenever you crave an exotic coffee experience.
