Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Vietnamese ground coffee
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1/3 cup steamed milk
- cinnamon powder (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- In the glass you are going to brew the coffee into, add sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
- Add Vietnamese ground coffee to the phin filter chamber and place the filter press on top, press gently. Place the filter over the glass and then add 1 tablespoon of hot water wait for about 10-20 seconds to let the ground coffee swell and settle.
- Add the remaining hot water and cover the chamber with the filter cap. Let the coffee liquid drip into the glass. This may take a few minutes. You can adjust the dripping speed by pressing the filter press. If the coffee drips too quickly, press the filter press a little more to slow it down.

- Once the filter chamber is empty, remove the filter from the glass. Stir to combine the coffee with the cocoa powder-condensed milk mixture.
- Add steamed milk to the glass. You can use a milk frother to heat the milk and create froth, or gently heat it on the stovetop and whisk vigorously to create foam (do not let the milk boil).
- Dust the mocha with some cinnamon powder (optional) and enjoy.
