Method

Brew coffee

Brew 480 ml of very strong coffee from the Ground Coffee using your usual method. Aim for a bold, concentrated brew so the drink still tastes rich once the ice goes in; if your setup leaves any grounds behind, strain the coffee so it pours smoothly.

Sweeten it

While the coffee is still hot, stir in Granulated Sugar and Sweetened Condensed Milk until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture looks silky and smooth. Keep stirring for about 1 minute so everything blends evenly.

Assemble glasses

Divide the crushed or cubed Ice evenly between two tall glasses, then pour the sweet coffee over the ice. Slowly top each glass with Evaporated Milk so it floats in a creamy layer, and serve immediately. Stir before sipping if you want the milk mixed through, or leave it layered for a pretty café-style look.
