Many people with a sweet tooth cannot imagine their morning without aromatic coffee with condensed milk. This drink not only has an excellent taste, but also has a number of beneficial properties. Let's find out in detail how to prepare it, what beneficial properties it has.
Most often, the drink is prepared from natural, roasted coffee beans. It has an invigorating effect on a person. Some coffee drinkers don't like the bitter aftertaste of caffeine. To dilute this taste, condensed milk is added to coffee. But after this the drink turns out to be much higher in calories than espresso. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink coffee with condensed milk often, especially if you are watching your figure.
The benefits of a drink with condensed milk
If you drink coffee with condensed milk twice a day, it will have only a beneficial effect on the human body:
- Stimulates the functionality of the nervous system.
- Relieves depression, as coffee contains serotonin.
- Saturates the body due to the calorie content of the product.
- Normalizes blood pressure during hypotension.
This coffee and dessert also lifts your mood even on the darkest days and warms you up perfectly.
Despite the fact that it does not have such a rich taste as espresso, it is still not worth drinking the drink at night.
Condensed milk and coffee - who came up with the idea of combining?
In most cases, coffee with condensed milk is called Vietnamese. Modern Vietnam is a leader in the production of various coffee varieties, and even surpasses Brazil in export volumes. The unusual taste combination appeared at a time when Vietnam was a colony of France: the French brought original ideas to the country.
The Vietnamese drink with condensed milk also has this name because the sweet milk base goes perfectly with Vietnamese coffee varieties. Bitter ground grains are always used as a base to reduce the sweetness of condensed milk.
At one time, the tradition of drinking a bitter cocktail with condensed milk also developed in the countries of the post-Soviet space. Sweet-tasting milk was used as a universal sweetener.
The name itself - Vietnamese coffee - came from America: after the war, many migrants came to the country, and they brought with them unusual traditions - for example, diluting a coffee drink with condensed milk. Before the Vietnamese migrants, Native Americans preferred strong and neat drinks.
The modern recipe differs from the classic one: the drink is served with various additives and toppings. Vietnamese cocktails are sold as a cold drink or as a hot dessert. Both the instant product and ground grains are used as a basis.
Traditional recipe for sweet coffee with condensed milk
Of course, condensed milk and espresso harmonize very well. The aroma is especially bright, and even strict coffee connoisseurs will like the taste of this drink. After drinking a cup of drink, you can feel a surge of good mood and get rid of sadness. It’s not for nothing that coffee with condensed milk is also called an effective remedy against depression. In hot weather, baristas serve the drink chilled. Strong coffee and ice quench your thirst well.

Delicious tandems
Coffee bitterness combined with the sugary sweetness of condensed milk creates a soft taste. Coffee can be consumed both hot and cold – it will not lose its unique properties under the influence of different temperatures.
Condensed milk harmonizes perfectly with classic espresso; the aroma and pleasant brown-caramel color in this amazing tandem are especially bright.
As for the type of coffee, baristas recommend mixing milk syrup only with a natural product, since only in this option the flavor bouquet of the drink will be revealed to the fullest. Instant sublimate is rarely of good quality, so adding condensed milk will not particularly affect the taste - you will just get a sweet coffee-milkshake.
In the classic recipe, when condensing milk with powdered sugar, the ingredients are taken in a 1:1 ratio, so the product turns out to be very sweet. There is no need to use additional cream, milk or sugar - all components can be successfully replaced with 1-2 tablespoons of condensed milk.

How to make condensed milk with coffee at home?
First you need to make condensed milk:
Take a saucepan that has a thick bottom and walls. Pour 1 liter of 3.5% milk into it, set it on low heat and, stirring constantly, boil for 1.5 hours until the water evaporates. When you see that the liquid has decreased by half, add 500 g of sugar, mix thoroughly, and leave on the fire for another hour. When the composition becomes creamy and thick, it means that you have cooked condensed milk. Cool the pan under cold water. You will get approximately 500 g of condensed milk.
To prepare 2 servings, pour water into the Turk, add 2 teaspoons of ground coffee beans, as soon as foam appears on the surface, remove from heat, pour into cups, but do not fill to the brim, as there should be room for condensed milk. Cool the coffee a little, then add sugar to taste and a spoonful of condensed milk. Stir gently. You cannot put condensed milk into a very hot drink, as the drink will curdle.
If you want to drink iced coffee, pour it into a transparent glass, add ice and insert a straw.
Condensed milk, coffee and alcohol – classic cocktails
Coffee cocktails include a wide variety of ingredients - often an alcoholic base, coffee and unusual flavoring components, such as egg. The classic is a combination of sweetness, like condensed milk, a bitter taste, like espresso, and an alcoholic note. Liqueur, cognac or vodka are used as alcohol. The strength of the cocktail is adjusted to taste.
Recipe for the alcoholic cocktail Bowling in TU-154:
- Main ingredients: vodka – 15 ml, condensed milk – 15 ml, ground product – 5 g.
- The cocktail is served in a shot glass.
- Preparation: mix condensed milk with coffee, pour everything into a shot glass, pour vodka on top using a spoon.
- Mix all layers well before use.
Another recipe for homemade Baileys with condensed milk. It includes the following ingredients: whiskey or vodka - 0.5 liters, cream with a fat content of at least 30% - 350 ml, condensed milk - up to 400 ml, vanillin for taste, instant coffee - 1 tsp. no slide.
Preparing a homemade alcoholic cocktail: You must first whip the cream. Add sugar and coffee to them. Beat the mixture again. Introduce condensed milk into it in a thin stream, then vodka or whiskey. Beat the mixture again until smooth.
Pour the finished drink into a bottle. The container must be sealed and then left in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. The ideal option is to let it brew for up to 12 hours. The bottle must be shaken every 1-2 hours. The total strength of the cocktail will be up to 22%.
Which condensed milk is suitable
To avoid spoiling your coffee with condensed milk, you should choose the right product. Real condensed milk should be without additives and vegetable fats. The composition should contain: cow's milk, sugar, water, sodium/potassium ascorbic acid. If you are lucky enough to find one on store shelves, take it and don’t hesitate, it’s a natural product. You should not take condensed milk, which contains: milk fat substitute, palm oil, pectin, synthetic dyes and the like. This is not real condensed milk, it is a dairy product.
Beneficial features
Coffee gives a stimulating effect. You feel energized due to the high caffeine content. When the drink enters the body, it produces serotonin (the hormone of happiness). Sweets, as you know, also produce a similar hormone. When you combine condensed milk and coffee, you get a double dose of happiness and vigor. In addition, the risk of developing depression and stress is reduced.
Harm
Don't get carried away with coffee drinks with sugar/condensed milk/cream. These “delicacies” are very high in calories. Drinking more than one cup per day can lead to obesity. It is not recommended to drink coffee for people with heart, kidney and gastrointestinal diseases. Use it with caution if you have insomnia, dizziness and increased excitability.
Harm of coffee with milk
Some experts claim that the drink beloved by many causes significant harm to the body:
- may cause stomach cancer over time;
- enhances the effects of all harmful substances in the human body;
- causes psychological dependence.
Observations were carried out on two groups of coffee drinkers. Some people drank a black, strongly brewed drink, while others drank milk with the addition of milk. So, studies have shown that health problems arose precisely in the second group, that is, among those who drank coffee with milk.
Scientists insist that tannin, which is found in significant quantities in coffee, binds milk protein and prevents it from being absorbed in the body.
But it should be noted that the harm of coffee with milk depends on many factors: the quality, naturalness of the raw materials used for its preparation, the amount of the drink consumed per day. Of course, if you treat yourself to a cup of your favorite cocktail in the morning, it will not have a negative effect on your body. But if you use it several times a day, it will definitely not be beneficial.

The idea of evaporating milk for long-term storage originated in France at the dawn of the 19th century. The Americans made the most progress in successful production and patented the idea, launching the first condensed milk plant half a century later. In Russia, the production of condensed milk was opened at the end of the 19th century.
Coffee iceberg
Have you ever tried mixing the same ingredient with itself, but in a different state? Another brilliant idea from those who like to get creative with recipes for an invigorating treat - iced coffee.

- 2 tbsp. l. condensed milk;
- 2 tbsp. l. liqueur such as Baileys or cream.
How to cook:

- Fill the glass with coffee ice. Pour the coffee mixture on top and serve. The strength of the coffee and the amount of ingredients can be adjusted depending on your preferences.

Coffee stories
Russians and Americans argued who could drink a bucket of black coffee.
The Americans found a hefty representative of the Negroid race. He poured a cup, another, a third... he drank a bucket and fell down. The Russian immediately drained almost the whole bucket in one gulp, leaving half a cup, but he didn’t want any more. No matter how his friends persuaded him, no matter how they frightened him, saying: “Don’t let us down, dear, drink another half a cup!” – but they couldn’t persuade him and lost the argument. The next day the African American died. “You guys see how harmful caffeine is, so you need to drink coffee in moderation!” – the Russian remarked reasonably. This text is an introductory fragment.

Coffee is a fairly popular drink not only among young people. Many older people also prefer it, and one of the reasons is considered to be the many different cooking options. Some people like strong espresso, others prefer a smooth latte. And it’s stupid to argue - what’s tastier, each person has their own answer. Despite its beloved taste by many, it is still unclear what is more beneficial or harmful? It is recommended to drink a cup for people with low blood pressure, as caffeine speeds up cardiac activity. If it’s difficult to wake up in the morning, then, again, a mug of hot drink will increase excitement in the cerebral cortex and increase activity. A person’s fatigue and drowsiness disappear, and performance, both physical and mental, improves. With such advantages, there are a number of significant disadvantages. No matter how well the drink invigorates, after a while its effect disappears and fatigue returns. If you frequently abuse caffeine, more than a teaspoon per day, the nerve cells begin to deplete, and over time a strong addiction occurs. And with 5 or more teaspoons - death. It is impossible to unambiguously assess the effect of caffeine on the human body. It’s just that lovers should be careful and not turn a tasty drink into an object of addiction. To do this, you need to try to reduce the amount of caffeine using various supplements. One of these ingredients is regular condensed milk. It makes the drink softer and more tender, while simultaneously replacing both sugar and cream. Of course, the calorie content of such coffee with condensed milk is high, somewhere around 120 kcal per 100 grams. The value may vary depending on the amount of condensed milk and other additives. A few simple recipes will help you make a choice and find new variations.
Calorie content and the effect of the drink on the body
Condensed milk mixture has an unusual and often sweet taste. Regular milk or milk with different flavors is added to it. The drink combines sweetness and nutty aftertaste well.

Other contraindications for which you cannot drink a coffee cocktail: the presence of heart disease, kidney disease, periodic insomnia, high blood pressure.
Coffee recipes with condensed milk
An unusual but simple dessert that can be easily prepared at home. The simplest recipe contains only 3 ingredients:
- coffee base – dry coffee 1 tsp;
- condensed milk – 1 tbsp. l.;
- boiling water – 1 cup.
The simplest recipe at home includes a regular instant product. More expensive varieties are also used as a basis - but in this case it is better to prepare coffee separately using the correct technology and add condensed milk.
If you take a soluble product, it should be poured into the bottom of the cup. Condensed milk is poured into the dry mixture on top. The more condensed milk there is, the sweeter the drink will be - the taste is determined individually. Boiling water is poured on top. Mix everything thoroughly.
The Spanish version is served cold. Main ingredients: natural freshly brewed coffee - at least a third of a cup, natural condensed milk - also a third of a cup, ice - to taste.
The Spanish recipe contains a high-quality insoluble product. The best option is espresso prepared using a coffee machine or Turkish coffee machine. To serve, if possible, take an Irish glass: beautiful layers will be visible in it. Condensed milk is poured into the bottom - the first layer, then espresso is slowly poured in in a thin stream so that the layers do not mix prematurely. Ice is added at the end.
