Coffee’s Not Enough
- Image by goosmurf via Flickr
There are some days when a regular cup of coffee is just not enough.
Days when Vista decides to get up at 4am would be a prime example of this.
Rather than get in the truck and drive all the way to the next town to get a Starbucks (because, let’s be honest – I’m too lazy and Starbucks isn’t open at 4am), I resort to a glass of Ca phe sua da. Also known as Vietnamese iced coffee.
Only problem is – I don’t have the nice little setup to brew it the traditional way. So at home I resort to:
Jenn’s Ghetto Vietnamese Iced Coffee
- Make some espresso. Or a pot of really strong coffee. Or go super ghetto (like me at 4am) and just make double strength instant coffee.
- Put about 2 tablespoons (or more if you like it sweeter) of sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk. You need the sweet thick stuff) into a glass.
- Add a little bit of your coffee to the milk just to dissolve it a bit.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the rest of your coffee over the ice cubes.
- Stir and enjoy.
- Make it through the day sane.
You’re welcome.
mmmmmmmmmm. me want.
I’m with Lu, and since I haven’t had coffee in nearly 9 plus months, (and still can’t for a short time) it sounds fantstic!!! Im jealous, but also know what those long days are like. My little ones not letting me sleep more than 3hrs a night.
Hope you have a good day.
Many hugs to you!!!
Damn! You gotta make coffee, open a CAN, AND stir. That’s too hard.
I’m lazier than you!
(HUGS) (SMOOCHES) all that jazz…
My husband loves that stuff. I think it should be illegal. Nothing that good should be allowed…
i’m doing this tomorrow morning… now that i’m home.
if it doesn’t work, i’m heading to alberta.
no questions asked.
LOL – I don’t know how you people drink coffee. So gross.
On top of that, I’ve been caffeine free for a few years now. So all the more coffee for you
