5. Coffee
Latte, cold brew, and flat whites are all swell and great to taste the roasted beans flavor, but have you tried sweetened condensed milk? It’s called Vietnamese coffee. Add sweetened condensed milk about an inch thick in a clear glass and then pour your favorite coffee. The presentation is fantastic and then stir and sip. Amazing!
Here are our two favorite brands that are fair trade companies.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]
