I don't really drink coffee - simply because it's 'bitter'. However, whilst hanging about in NYC's Chinatown one summer afternoon, I tried at one of the few Vietnamese restaurants in the area an iced café à la vietnamienne (cà phê sữa đá), which is pretty much a self-service affair.
In the coffee cup is a generous amount of sweetened evaporated milk. When the dripping is done, all you need to do is just to pour the freshly brewed coffee over the ice. How simple.
I find these tiny, single serving Vietnamese coffee filters quite lovely, and got one for myself when I was visiting Vietnam. Haven't unwrapped it yet though, you know I'm not much of a coffee drinker!
