Vietnamese Iced Coffee — Cà Phê Sữa Đá
Cuisine: Vietnamese · Origin: Vietnam
Vietnamese Iced Coffee, known locally as Cà Phê Sữa Đá, is a beloved Southeast Asian beverage combining dark roasted Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk and ice. The drink is traditionally prepared using a phin—a small metal drip filter that slowly brews strong, concentrated coffee directly into a glass containing sweetened condensed milk. Once brewed, the mixture is stirred together and served over ice, creating a rich, creamy, and intensely sweet drink. Vietnamese coffee beans are typically roasted dark and often include robusta varieties, producing a bold, full-bodied flavor that cuts through the sweetness of the condensed milk. This iconic drink reflects Vietnam's coffee heritage and French colonial influence, while the use of condensed milk represents practical adaptation to tropical climates. It's commonly enjoyed as a morning pick-me-up or afternoon refreshment throughout Vietnam and has gained international popularity in Vietnamese communities worldwide.

This beloved beverage became iconic during French colonial rule when coffee cultivation was introduced to Vietnam, but Vietnamese coffee culture transformed it into something uniquely their own by pairing it with sweetened condensed milk—a practical solution when fresh milk was scarce in tropical climates.

這款深受喜愛的飲品在法國殖民統治時期成為標誌性飲料，當時咖啡種植被引入越南。不過越南人將咖啡文化轉化為獨特的風味，搭配甜煉乳享用——在熱帶氣候下新鮮牛奶稀缺，這是個實用的解決方案。
