  1. There was one problem to solve:
    Turns out not consisting of 55% sugar brings down shelf life after opening.
    "Consume within 5 days! Keep refrigerated!" said the tin.

    So the solution was: freeze it!
    Got some silicon ice cube mold, filled it with the condensed coconut cream.
    it doesn't freeze rock solid, but more like hard ice cream.
    Which it.. kinda is. Sweetened condensed milk, flavoring (being coconut milk it tastes like coconut) and a binder. In this case guar gum.
    Which also keeps it from splitting when nuking it a few seconds in the microwave to thaw.

    After that just get your Phin dripper ready.
    Pull a strong coffee from it (with the right beans), directly over the sweetened condensed coconut milk.
    Stir and enjoy a great #VietnameseCoffee.
    Strong, sweet, bitter, chocolaty, coconutty & creamy.

    So that's a win!

    (I also popped one of those little frozen cubes into my mouth and if you let it melt slowly, it tastes like ice cream .^ )

  2. Vietnamese coffee is back on the menu! :blobfoxmelthappy:
    I had to cut it out of my diet, thanks to the extremely high sugar content of sweetened condensed milk.
    Or the dairy-free cousin, sweetened condensed coconut milk, which I actually preferred.

    But now I found this:
    Sugar free sweetened condensed coconut milk!

    It's sweetened with Erythrit, which I know I tolerate well & tastes similar to the other coconut condensed milk from the same brand that I used in the past.
    So that's nice.
    Just need to solve a problem after opening. Because it's not 55% sugar, shelf-life after opening. even in the fridge, is short.

  3. Why don't Australians source more coffee from our region?: Australia is surrounded by coffee-growing countries like Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, but it imports most of its coffee from the other side of the world. With climate change and coffee bean prices skyrocketing, is it time to look closer to home? abc.net.au/news/2025-01-21/why #coffee #coffeeprices #Vietnamesecoffee

  4. Dropped off @jodi at the Toronto airport and stopping for coffee with a former student before heading to #Kingston. #VietnameseCoffee

  5. Today's brew is ca phe sua da courtesy of this phin filter that hasn't seen the light of day for quite a while.

    Perhaps next time I should also use the manual grinder from Vietnam to complete the experience.
