So, what the heck is Vietnamese Iced Coffee? I'm glad you asked.
"Ca phe sua da or cafe sua da (Vietnamese: cà phê sữa đá) is a unique Vietnamese coffee recipe. Literally, the name means "iced coffee with milk". In northern Vietnam, it is also called ca phe nau da (Vietnamese: cà phê nâu đá), meaning "iced brown coffee". Ca phe sua da can be made simply by mixing brewed black coffee with about a quarter to a half as much sweetened condensed milk and then pouring it over ice.".
