Vietnamese cold coffee with Godiva Hazelnut crème and Chocolate Truffle: Food buzz Taste maker

Published: · Modified: ·by .This post may contain affiliate links ·

I am a coffee drinker; love to start my day with a cup of coffee. It may be because of my roots. In South India, we make filter coffee, and for those who don’t know filter coffee is, it is sweet milky concoction of dark coffee beans and chicory (a, perennial herbaceous plant with bright blue flowers usually added as additive to coffee). South Indian coffee is usually brewed using steal utensil consists two cylindrical cups; top part has a pierced bottom and bottom “tumbler" cup, collect the brewed coffee. The upper cup has two removable parts too: a pierced pressing disc with a central stem handle, and a covering lid.
When coffee is brewed like this method, it is called decoction it usually stronger. Then this brewed coffee is mixed with milk and sugar and make it into a frothy preparation served special glass and saucer called tumbler and Davarah. If you want read more about south Indian coffee take a look at here. Amma always made fresh coffee decoction and then coffee with it.
 Here coffee maker makes 4 or 5 cups of strong coffee, at first since it doesn’t have chicory it was tasteless for me. Gradually I acquired the taste now I seem to like it. Still I like to dilute heavily before drinking it as black coffee. My friend Karen used to tease me that I make black coffee with teaspoon of brewed coffee and rest with water. May be she is right, I like it that way.
Just the other day, I was really happy to receive as part of Food buzz taste maker program, famous chocolatier Godiva’s two 12 oz samples of their gourmet coffee. I received Hazelnut crème and Chocolate truffle as samples. 
They wanted me to make cold coffee with given samples. I like hot coffee, not much fan of cold coffee. But I have wanted to try Vietnamese cold coffee for a long time, so I decided to use this opportunity to make it. While checking the recipe for Vietnamese cold coffee I found that they are also using somewhat similar technique of brewing the coffee as filter coffee. Main difference is that instead of collecting the brewed coffee in the south Indian filter coffee, the coffee is brewed directly into cup containing condensed milk, which is used as sweetener as well as part of diary. Later mixed with ice and served.
My hubby wanted to try Hazelnut crème as his choice of cold coffee. When we opened the packet, it smell really great, strong aromatic flavor. So I choose Chocolate truffle as my cold coffee. I think hazelnut crème has more strong smell compared to chocolate truffle. But after tasting, the taste of coffee is wonderful; but both flavors of coffee tasted almost similar. May be because I used same method of preparation, which is my conclusion. Give it try if you happen to see Godiva coffee in the store. Here goes the recipe. 

One year ago: Low fat blueberry muffin
Print recipe from here

What you need

Sweetened condensed milk: 1 tablespoon
Ground coffee: 3 tablespoon (I used Godiva Hazelnut crème and Chocolate trifle)
Hot water: ¾ cup Ice cubes: as needed

How I made 

Boil water in a sauce pan Add 1 tablespoon of condensed milk in the cup you decide to make the coffee. In the top part of steel utensil (filter) add ground coffee and ¼ cup of hot water and set aside so that it will brew slowly into the cup itself. It takes about 5-8 minutes.

Mix condensed milk with brewed coffee and then add ½ cup of hot water and mix everything. In another cup add ice cubes and transfer the mixed coffee into it and serve.

Enjoy as much you wish.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Serving: 2
Verdict: Yummy
Will you make it again: Yes I will

    Hey Swathi,
    I've been interested in that South Indian method for making coffee since I heard of it for the first time recently. Apparently it renders the coffee easier on the stomach and nervous system. I can't imagine being able to find the kit here for it, but we're heading off to Mysore (home of coffee!) in a month so I will be able to get it there I'm sure. Quick question; when I've read about it before, it says it takes overnight to make which sounds crazy! How long does the filtering take you?

    I buy a chicory & coffee blend by French Market (Safeway carries it)for my husband (I can't take any caffeine). It is actually better for you as chicory balances out caffeine's B vitamin depletion. Your concoction sounds just delicious and refreshing.
