Vietnamese black iced-coffee is what it says it is. A super-concentrated drip coffee on the bottom of a cup mixed with a generous amount of ice cubes. As you mix the two together, the ice cubes melt and the resulting liquid becomes more drinkable. However, keep in mind that Vietnamese coffee is super strong and fairly bitter.

It’s hard to believe that coffee has been introduced to Vietnam as late as in 19 century by a French Catholic priest. Nowadays, the caffein-charged drink is an integral part of Vietnamese culture. While most Vietnamese men prefer drinking a “pure” black coffee mixed with ice (Cà phê đen đá)
