Vietnamese cold brew

Name: Vietnamese cold brew
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 18 h 5 min
Yield: About 8 glasses
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Ingredients: 100 g coarsely ground dark-roast coffee (robusta works beautifully); 1 litre cold filtered water; Sweetened condensed milk and ice, to serve

Not traditional, but Vietnamese in spirit: strong, smooth and made for heat. Dark robusta gives cold brew a chocolatey body without the bitterness of hot coffee left to cool.
