This iced coffee sweetened with condensed milk is completely delicious and the coffee ice cubes adds even more punch without diluting your drink.

Iced Coffee

I am an iced coffee addict. I drink it whenever I can and am often disappointed. That’s why I try to make it myself whenever I can and have experimented with different flavours and forms of dairy and have finally come up with my ultimate version.

I like to make mine in a similar way to the classic Vietnamese coffee which is strong black coffee sweetened with condensed milk. What I don’t like however is when the ice melts and waters down the coffee so I like to freeze coffee in ice cube trays and use that to cool down my coffee. Just writing about it has me salivating and believe me, this iced coffee is incredibly addictive!

    What brand coffee do you like? I have tried several and can’t seem to get a good tasting coffee made from my regular coffee maker. Not sure what the deal is. Any suggestions for me? I’m excited to try this! If I made the coffee before work how long do you think it’d take to cool down? I’m usually a wake up and out the door kinda gal.

      I don’t have a specific brand that I like, to be honest. If you add the ice cubes it should take no longer than a few minutes to cool down.

      You might try not getting pre-ground beans, I’ve found that is better (I get the brand Pablo’s pride.)

    Vietnemese coffee is my favorite for iced coffee because it’s often roasted with cocoa & butter oil and robusta is used for strength. Most Arabica is too weak when used with sweetened condensed milk.

    Most people brew Vietnemese coffee with too much water so when the ice melts the coffee is too weak. The authentic way is to brew it at a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part coffee. Example: 25 grams coffee with 75 grams water, that way it’s so strong that some melting ice doesn’t effect taste dramatically.

    People in North Vietnam use less sweetened condensed milk so the coffee looks brown. In the South they use more so it’s more like a milky beige color. My favorite coffee is Trung Nguyen Creative #4.

    Sandi, I just keep it in the fridge and it does thicken up slightly but nothing too bad. Perhaps add it to the coffee before adding the ice cubes to prevent it from settling at the bottom?

    How do you store your SCM? I store mine in the fridge but have to heat it up before putting it in iced coffee ( or else it won’t mix in well) .

    Oh My Goodness!!! O.O Your pictures are STUNNING!!! Like naughty Coffee Porn … Tastefully done though. LOL! ;] (Spotted this pix on Pinterest, which lead me to your lovely blog!)

    I LOVE iced coffee, but a STRONG version. And only recently started making my own iced “coffee” cubes to add to in my drink. Great idea!!! Without all the watering down accompanied by boring iced cubes. On top of that I just discovered sweetened condensed milk is WONDERFUL!!! It’s silky creamy sweet consistency mix very well into a “cold” drink. I have no idea why I had not heard or thought of this before? These two things brought my boring iced coffee to the next realm.

    Now iced coffee perfection (my opinion only) is a cold brewed coffee concentrate. Give it a try … There truly is a world of difference. Cold brewing gives an outstanding SMOOTH coffee. It’s significantly less bitter and less acidic, something that hadn’t bothered me in my hot brewed version, that is until I tasted the difference in a cold brewed coffee. It takes a little more preparation/time and more patience (in filtering), but a big batch of concentrate will last you for a bit. I highly suggest giving it a whirl. I think you’d be surprised at just how much it could improve your GORGEOUS iced coffee!!! :]

    I was reading your “food styling” post, and saw the pic from this iced coffee post. After I made myself a nice cold one, I then visited this post of yours. The pics are SO STUNNING. I love your recipe and everything.

    And Thank you for all the posts for new blogger like me. They are really helpful & you are very thoughtful for doing that. 🙂

    How “strong” do you make the coffee? Can you estimate amount of coffee per cup?

      Anita, you should make it as strong as you would drink it. So make each cup as you would drink it.

    I like the same. I buy condensed milk like there is no tomorrow . Have you tried tea and condensed milk . Tea must be strong too. More tea less brewing time = less bitterness. YUMMO

    When you say “black coffee”, do you mean espresso or do you mean regular american coffee with nothing added (cream or sugar)?
