VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE

"This Asian elixir is a classic yin-and-yang marriage of sweet, thick milk and intense coffee."

1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons medium-grind French roast coffee
3/4 cup boiling water
4 ounces crushed ice
Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Place condensed milk in a 8-ounce tempered glass or mug. Place over the mug a cone-shaped coffee filter containing the ground coffee.

Pour boiling water onto ground coffee and allow brewed coffee to slowly drip into milk.

Stir up milk from bottom of glass and continue stirring rapidly until well-blended.

Place crushed ice in chilled tall, slender 12-ounce highball glass. Pour coffee mixture over ice. Sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon and serve.
