How to Make Authentic Vietnamese Coffee with Tian Creamers
If you’re a coffee lover looking to explore new flavors and brewing methods, Vietnamese coffee is a must-try! Known for its bold, rich taste and unique preparation method, Vietnamese coffee is the perfect blend of strong coffee and creamy sweetness. Traditionally made with sweetened condensed milk, this drink takes on a whole new level of indulgence when made with Tian Creamers' Condensed Milk Powder or Coconut Milk Creamer. Let’s dive into the steps to create a delicious Vietnamese coffee at home with the help of our premium creamers!
Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons of Vietnamese ground coffee (or any strong coffee blend of your choice)
• 1-2 tablespoons of Tian Creamers Condensed Milk Powder or Tian Creamers Coconut Milk Creamer
• 8 oz of hot water
• Ice (optional, if making iced Vietnamese coffee)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Coffee
Start by using a Vietnamese coffee filter (known as a “phin”), but if you don’t have one, a French press or pour-over method will work just fine.
• For the filter: Place the ground coffee in the filter and gently press it down with the included press (or use a spoon if you’re improvising). Boil your water and pour it into the filter. Let it drip slowly into your glass or mug. You’ll want the brew to be strong and rich, so a slow drip method is key.
• For French press or pour-over: Brew the coffee as you would normally, using about 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water. You want a full-bodied, strong coffee to balance the sweetness of the creamer.
2. Add Tian Creamers
Once your coffee is brewed, it’s time to add the magic ingredient: Tian Creamers Condensed Milk Powder or Coconut Milk Creamer.
• For the condensed milk powder: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons (depending on your sweetness preference). Mix well to dissolve and create a rich and creamy texture similar to traditional Vietnamese coffee.
• For the coconut milk creamer: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of this smooth, plant-based creamer for a dairy-free twist. The coconut flavor will add a subtle tropical flair to the coffee.
3. Mix and Enjoy
Stir the coffee and creamer until fully combined, ensuring a velvety smooth finish. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less of the Tian Creamer based on your preference.
• Iced Vietnamese Coffee: If you’re in the mood for something cold, pour your prepared coffee over a glass of ice. The sweetness of the Tian Creamer will blend beautifully with the cold coffee, making for a refreshing treat on a warm day.
Why Tian Creamers Make the Perfect Addition
Using Tian Creamers in your Vietnamese coffee not only enhances the texture but also provides a healthier, more natural alternative to traditional creamers. Our condensed Milk Powder is made with real, simple ingredients and no additives, while the coconut milk creamer offers a dairy-free, vegan option that’s still creamy and delicious. Whether you’re looking for a traditional or dairy-free twist, Tian Creamers bring out the best in your coffee!
Tips for the Best Vietnamese Coffee Experience
• Use fresh, high-quality coffee beans: The stronger and fresher your coffee, the better your Vietnamese coffee will taste. Look for a dark roast with bold flavors.
• Adjust the sweetness: Vietnamese coffee is typically quite sweet, but you can customize it to your taste by adding more or less Tian Creamer.
• Experiment with ice: If you’re making iced coffee, try adding more Tian Creamer to ensure the creaminess isn’t lost when the ice dilutes the coffee.
• Try with a side of traditional Vietnamese desserts: Pair your coffee with sweet treats like banh da lon (Vietnamese steamed cakes) for an authentic experience.
