I grew up with sweetened condensedmilk coffee. When my family and I went on hikes we always added condensed milk to our coffee. It is theperfect additionto yourmorning coffeeif you have asweet tooth.
People all over the world have found a soft spot for it in their coffee. In fact, it is a common ingredient inThai iced coffeeand Vietnamese iced coffee. The added sweetness in iced coffee takes an alreadyrefreshing drinkto the next level. Perfect for those crazyhot summer dayswhen you just want to lounge next to the pool or throw abig party.
However, you don’t have to stick to iced coffee. Condensed milk goes really well withhot coffeetoo. It is theperfect substitutefor milk and sugar if you are going camping and can’t takefresh milkwith you.
In this post, I will give you a simplerecipethat you can adjust to make the other variations.
Base Recipefor CondensedMilk Coffee
The most basic form of this coffee is simplyblack coffeemixed with1-2 tbspcondensed milk.
Thetype of coffeethat you use isn’t really that important. Just aim for astrong brew.Strong coffeegoes best with thesweeter tasteof condensedmilk coffee.
You can pull twoshots of espressowith yourespresso machineand add 200mlhot water.
Or you can use a cup of strong brewed coffee made with, for example, aFrench pressordripcoffee machine.
Instant coffeecan also work well. Nescafé Gold Alta Rica and Nescafé Gold Instant Espresso are worth trying.
I always opt for dark roastcoffee beansfor this coffee. The bitterness of a dark roast balances thesweet tasteof the condensed milk really well, in my opinion.
Also, the condensed milk not only adds someextra sweetnessto your coffee, but it also adds acreamy texture.
You can, of course, also add some regularmilkif you want it even creamier.
