Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large jar, add 4 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and stir for a few seconds until slightly combined.
  2. Brew your coffee using either a French press or phin filter with 6 tablespoons of coffee and 12-14 oz. of hot water. Allow to steep for 4 minutes then press down.
  3. Pour the freshly brewed coffee into the jar with sweetened condensed milk. Stir for about 30 seconds until well combined and let cool slightly.
