VIETNAMESE ICED MILK COFFEE: A HARD “KICK” THAT YOU WOULDN’T FORGET
Have you ever experienced a situation where you, a regular coffee drinker who had two cups a day, had just one try of Vietnamese iced milk coffee and your heart raced, your hands trembled, and your legs felt unsteady? Don’t worry; you’re simply experiencing the powerful “kick” from Vietnamese Robusta coffee beans. Unlike the milder Arabica beans common in the West, Vietnamese Robusta beans contain almost double the caffeine content. When brewed through a traditional aluminium filter, it produces a coffee concentrate so strong that even a coffee connoisseur like you might feel “intoxicated.”
Enjoying Vietnamese iced milk coffee is about enjoying the wait. Once the coffee is ready, ice is added and stirred until a rich, amber colour appears, smooth and refreshing. In Saigon, people can drink iced milk coffee at any time: early in the morning to wake up, at night while chatting with friends.
The culture of iced milk coffee represents the Vietnamese character: simple, adaptable, and full of creativity. It’s not just a drink but a slow pace of life amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
