I drink iced Vietnamese coffee all the time. It may have to do with the fact that I am pretty fond of condense milk. It makes the Vietnamese coffee the right amount of sweetness without taking away the bitterness. I also love cold drinks. You'll never find me asking to drink anything warm (unless it's apple cider). My mouth just can't handle it. Besides, drinking hot things is never as refreshing as a cold drink.
I drink it at least every other day. I have it all the time, no matter what time of day it is. I have been known to drink it in the middle of the night right before I go to bed. I love it, and I am constantly craving it.
The thing is I haven't grown accustomed to regular coffee. I've been quite traumatized.
When I was just learning to like coffee, I made the mistake of adding too much sweetened creamer. I almost died from the sugar. I had not known that the creamer was already sweetened, and assumed it was like adding milk into your coffee. I love milk, and had thought that a milky coffee would taste good. Little did I know that I was adding sugar along with the milk.
50% sweetened creamer and 50% coffee is not a good idea. Trust me when I say it will give you a sugar coma. For weeks I could not bare to think about regular coffee with creamer. I would shiver at the thought.
I decided to be brave yesterday, and made myself a nice cup of coffee. I added a smidge of creamer, and an even smaller pinch of sugar. It was perfect. I was in heaven, and I now know that I like coffee. It's delicious, and with every cup I drink, I grow to like it more. I am not convinced yet that it's the most wonderful drink in the world. Milk will always be #1 in my heart.
Maybe one day I will even be brave enough to drink it black. I don't see that happening, but I never thought I would drink coffee either.
The things I try to do. I don't know why I insist on liking coffee. Maybe I just want to be able to see why everyone likes it so much. I wonder about myself sometimes. :D
