Vietnamese Iced Coffee or Cafe sua da!

by Megan on August 5, 2009

Ca phe sua da or Cafe sua da

(Vietnamese: cà phê sữa đá)

is a unique Vietnamese coffee recipe.

Literally, ca phe sua da means “iced coffee with milk”. Ca phe sua da can be made simply by mixing brewed black coffee with about a quarter to a half as much sweetened condensed milk and then pouring it over ice.

-Wikipedia Encylopedia

When the tempetures hit 110 degrees last week, I was looking for a cold drink that would give me a little jump start. I didn’t want to spend my money at one of those coffee houses, yet I wanted a coffee fix in the form of a cool iced drink.

I first saw this drink about a year ago while surfing the blogs. My only question is what took me so long to make it. Don’t you hesitate. This simple drink is a coffee lovers must make. Shake it up a bit, add some chocolate, or liquor like Baileys or Kahlua. You might even try those Torrini syrups.
I’m quite fond of the pumpkin spice!

And it will keep those coffee house urges away!Vietnemese Iced Coffee

I was actually thinking booze would be awesome with this too.
