9 steps

What you need

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Warm a small heatproof glass or cup by filling it with hot water, then empty it.

  2. 2

    Set a Vietnamese phin filter on the cup. Add the coffee, level it and press lightly with the filter insert.

  3. 3

    Pour in a splash of near-boiling water and wait 30 seconds. Fill the filter with about 80 ml (1/3 cup) more near-boiling water, cover and let it drip, 4-5 min.

  4. 4

    While it drips, put the yolks and 1 tbsp of the condensed milk in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Beat with a hand mixer on high until pale, thick and about tripled in volume, 5-7 min. It should hold a soft peak.

  6. 6

    Raw yolks are only gently warmed by the hot coffee, so use pasteurized eggs if serving anyone young, elderly, pregnant or immunocompromised.

  7. 7

    Stir the remaining 1 tbsp condensed milk into the hot coffee.

  8. 8

    Spoon the yolk cream over the coffee to make a layer about as thick as the coffee below.

  9. 9

    Stand the cup in a bowl of hot water to keep it warm and serve right away, with a spoon for scooping the cream.
