🌊 3/4 cup Hot Water
🍶 2 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk LONGEVITY BRAND
🥄 A couple of teaspoons Sugar
🧂 A pinch of Salt
🥛 Generous amount of Evaporated Milk Carnation
🧊 Ice enough to fill a tall glass

Instructions

1- Prepare the Coffee:

• Place a cloth coffee filter over a metal pot or jug.
• Add 3 tablespoons of OLIANG POWDER MIXED into the filter.

2- Brew the Coffee:

• Carefully pour 3/4 cup of hot water over the coffee powder in the filter, ensuring all grounds are saturated.
• Gently press the coffee grounds using a spoon to aid extraction.

3- Steep:

• Allow the coffee to steep for 3-5 minutes to develop a rich flavor.

4- Prepare Sweeteners:

• In a small mixing glass, combine 2 tablespoons of LONGEVITY BRAND sweetened condensed milk, a couple of teaspoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt.

5- Combine & Mix:

• Once steeping is complete, remove the filter and pour the brewed coffee into the mixing glass with sweeteners.
• Stir meticulously until the ingredients dissolve.

6- Taste Test:

• Sample the mixture to ensure it's slightly too strong and sweet, anticipating dilution from the ice.
• Adjust sugar or salt as desired.

7- Add Ice:

• Fill a tall serving glass entirely with ice cubes.

8- Pour Over Ice:

• If preferred, transfer the mixture back into the metal pot/jug for easier handling.
• Carefully pour the coffee mixture over the ice in the tall serving glass.

9- Add Evaporated Milk:

• Generously drizzle Carnation evaporated milk over the iced coffee to achieve a layered effect.
• The milk creates a beautiful "waterfall gradient" as it mingles with the coffee.

10- Serve:
- Insert a straw and present immediately without stirring to maintain the visual layered effect.
