Ingredients
. 300 ml cold brew coffee (best made with medium-coarse grind)
. 2-3 tbsp condensed milk

Method
Soak the coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours; the longer the coffee is soaked, the more intense the coffee’s flavour will be. Filter the coffee twice and chill the liquid. In a tall glass, add ice and pour the cold brew coffee over it. Add the condensed milk, stir and serve.
