Cà Phê Sữa Dá (TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE ICED PHIN FILTER COFFEE )

Coffee was introduced to Vietnam by the French in 1857 to accommodate French colonialist's palates. However, fresh cow's milk, a staple French coffee accompaniment, would yet to be imported. Considering, Vietnam's inaccessibility to fresh cow's milk, sweetened condensed milk was used instead. But it wasn't until the early 1900s, that the French started to import their cafe culture into Vietnam. Specifically, Vietnam's capital city, Ha Noi; a major urban center for primary status. And like all major urban centers, they act as the center of hierarchy for culture. It would only take a few decades for French coffee culture to be permanently instilled in Vietnam.
