First, add 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to the bottom of your heat-resistant glass. This sweet, creamy layer will be the foundation of your drink.

Take your phin filter and place it securely on top of your glass. Add 2 tablespoons of Vietnamese ground coffee into the filter. Gently tap the sides of the filter to level out the coffee grounds, then place the metal press on top of the grounds.

Heat your water to just below boiling (195-205°F). Pour a small amount of hot water (about 2 tablespoons) over the coffee grounds and wait 30 seconds. This quick pause lets the coffee bloom and ensures even extraction.

Now slowly pour the remaining hot water into the filter until it's about ¾ full. Put the lid on top and wait patiently. The coffee will begin to drip slowly through the filter – this should take about 4-5 minutes. Don't rush this step; the slow drip is what creates that perfect strong brew.

Once all the coffee has dripped through, remove the phin filter from your glass. Take your long spoon and stir the coffee and condensed milk together until they're completely mixed and the color is uniform.

Finally, fill your glass with ice cubes. Give everything one last gentle stir to chill the coffee and combine all the flavors. Now your Vietnamese Iced Coffee is ready to enjoy!

Remember to take a moment to watch the coffee and milk swirl together as you stir – it's part of the experience! You can always adjust the amount of condensed milk or ice to match your taste preferences.
