Bạc Xỉu [Saigon Style Coffee]

Compared to Cà Phê Sữa, Bạc Xỉu has the same ingredients. However, the proportions are very different. This delicious concoction is made (primarily) with a glass of condense milk, with a splash of Phin Filtered coffee. As a result, it has less caffeine, and is sweeter than Cà Phê Sữa.

Notes

Neapolitan Espresso [grind: espresso #2]

Like wine, coffee has many different characteristics. For this recipe, I chose a Neapolitan roast from my local coffee roaster Mr.Espresso. It has hints of caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate - which pairs amazingly well with the chocolate and ube.
