Awesome any time of the day! Not to mention the nice jolt you get as well. Once you have had a taste, no other iced coffee will do! This is especially good with a nice Vietnamese sandwich (see my recent post on this).
Remember to use very dark and strong coffee, for example, double the amount of coffee grind for your typical brew. Traditionally, coffee is made with a single-cup brewer placed over a cup. (My brother tells me that a French press works especially well for this.) Once the coffee drips completely into the cup, condensed milk is stirred in. This can be enjoyed as is, hot. For those who want something more refreshing, it is poured over a glass filled with ice.
Here’s a link to a place you can purchase authentic Vietnamese coffee or the special brewer:
