Vietnamese Drip Iced Coffee in Seven - by popular request

[tzaddi]

Looking forward to getting a few of my friends addicted to this treat in the coming weeks. I will need to add to my VDICF count so as not to leave anyone on the sidelines too long. I can hear the clinking of the ice in the glass…

Yes - sadly, VDICF count matters. The $5.00 hardware price is perhaps a little deceptive (newcomers) unless you are a hermit. Best to have 3 or 4 VDICFs so your "friends" do not occupy themselves by snitching sips from your tumbler.

Bump.

So who was/is the first to VDIC in 2008? I haven't made any yet.

The season of the VDIC and Mojito is fast upon us.

03 - measure 2T of coffee approx into the filter taking care to leave it level and not quite covering the top of the screw/stud



04 - screw the filter press down as (finger) snug as possible. Loose is not good but don't bother with a screwdriver. This is when levelling the coffee and leaving the stud exposed pays off. Woot!

You're using the wrong Condensed milk!!!
And this is too light!



I grew up on this stuff and still drink it often! Du Ma..the best coffee ever!

This is the stuff I grew up...very very strong IMHO

I wound up making 6 of these over the Memorial Day weekend. Good time for a bump on VDIC.

I must warn you....I've had a friend's brother-in-law come over for Utah and wanted coffee the next morning after a hard night of 30th B-day partying...He got one of these as hot coffee and drank it with the same belief that it was just hot coffee. HAHA we all looked at him in disbelief and he looked back at us in a "OMG what did I do wrong!" sort of way...then 3 mins later he was bouncing off the walls! Needless to say, it was a good remedy for hang overs.

This is a true thing and a warning. For caffeine sensitive persons, no matter how good these taste, more than one or two of these may give you a serious case of the heebie-jeebies. Do not overdo it with the VDIC if you don't want the jitters.

While ordering some green beans, I noticed that Uncle Beanz has a Vietnamese Coffee Filter for $4.99. Order some beans (green or roasted) and grab a VCF for your VDIC too!
