Ingredients
☕️ 3 heaped teaspoons Illy dark Vietnamese coffee
🥚 2 egg yolks
🥄 2 teaspoons F&N sweetened condensed milk
🔥 Hot water
🥛 Optional: Carnation Evaporated Creamer
Instructions
1- Prepare the coffee:
Add 3 heaped teaspoons of Illy ground coffee into the Vietnamese coffee filter.
Gently press using the filter's clamp to compact.
2- Pre-warm the mug:
Pour hot kettle water into the glass mug to warm it.
Discard the water.
3- Initial coffee soak:
Position the filter on the warmed mug.
Add a small amount of hot water on the coffee grounds to moisten.
Wait about 2 minutes.
4- Brew the coffee:
Pour more hot water in the filter, filling it up to two-thirds.
Cover with the lid and let the coffee drip slowly into the mug.
5- Prepare egg foam:
Separate the egg yolks and place them in a small bowl.
Add the condensed milk.
6- Whisk the mixture:
Use a manual whisk or KitchenAid-style electronic hand mixer.
Vigorously whisk the yolks and milk until the mix becomes pale, frothy, and thick.
7- Assemble the coffee:
Once the coffee has dripped, carefully remove the filter.
Pour the egg foam over the coffee slowly using a spatula or a spoon to keep the layers intact.
8- Optional step:
- For additional creaminess, pour Carnation Evaporated Creamer into the cup slowly to form another layer beneath the foam.
9- Enjoy:
- Stir the layers gently with a spoon to blend flavors before sipping.
