Join me as I try to recreate that rich and creamy Thai iced coffee you get from street vendors, right in my own kitchen! Today, we’re diving into the world of Thai iced coffee, a beloved street vendor drink that combines rich coffee with sweetened condensed milk and ice.
Many people struggle to recreate that authentic street vendor taste at home, often missing key ingredients or techniques. This drink is all about balance, and getting that perfect balance of flavors can be tricky. People often overlook the type of coffee they're using, which is a crucial element in achieving that authentic taste. Using low-quality coffee can completely throw off the flavor profile of the entire drink.
The type of coffee is just the beginning, as the brewing method also plays a significant role in bringing out the unique flavors of the coffee. Most people use a dark roast coffee, but the way it's brewed is what really sets Thai iced coffee apart from other coffee drinks. The brewing process involves using a metal filter, which allows the coffee to have a heavier body and a more robust flavor.
In addition to the coffee, the milk and sugar are also essential components of this drink. The sweetened condensed milk is what gives Thai iced coffee its distinctive flavor and creamy texture. However, using too much or too little of it can greatly affect the overall taste of the drink. Finding the perfect ratio of coffee to milk is crucial in achieving that authentic street vendor taste.

We'll explore the essential ingredients you'll need, including the type of coffee, how to brew it properly, and the perfect ratio of milk and sugar for that authentic flavor. To start, you'll need a strong and rich coffee, which is typically achieved by using a dark roast coffee. The coffee should be brewed using a metal filter, which allows the coffee to have a more robust flavor.
The key to achieving that perfect balance of flavors is to use the right ratio of coffee to milk. The traditional ratio is two parts coffee to one part sweetened condensed milk. However, this can be adjusted to suit your personal taste preferences. The important thing is to find a balance that works for you and stick to it.

Once you have your coffee and milk, it's time to add the sugar. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal taste preferences, but traditionally, Thai iced coffee is made with a significant amount of sugar. The sugar helps to balance out the bitterness of the coffee and adds to the overall flavor of the drink.
The moment we combine the brewed coffee with the sweetened condensed milk and ice will be a game changer, revealing that rich, creamy texture that makes this drink so special. As the coffee and milk mix together, the flavors will start to meld together, creating a smooth and creamy texture. The ice will help to chill the drink and bring out the flavors of the coffee and milk.
The combination of the coffee, milk, and ice is what makes Thai iced coffee so unique and delicious. The creamy texture of the sweetened condensed milk pairs perfectly with the rich flavor of the coffee, creating a drink that is both refreshing and decadent. As you take a sip, the flavors will explode in your mouth, leaving you wanting more.
When you've got all the ingredients and the brewing method down, making Thai iced coffee is actually quite simple. It's all about combining the right ingredients in the right proportions and brewing the coffee in a way that brings out the unique flavors. With a little practice, you'll be making Thai iced coffee like a pro, and it will become a staple in your household.
