Thai Iced Coffee (Oliang Thai)
Preparation time: 5 minutes, plus 10 minutes for steeping
Yield: 4 servings
4 cups water
1/2 cup Thai coffee powder
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 to 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the coffee powder, blending well. Remove from the heat, and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
2. Using the mesh strainer or coffee filter, strain the coffee into a tall pitcher, mix in the sugar, and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
3. Fill four tall glasses with ice. Pour the coffee over the ice and float 2 to 3 tablespoons condensed milk on top. Serve with long iced-tea spoons to allow your guests to stir their own coffee.
