Mix very strong coffee with ice cubes and add cardamom, a spice native to the East Indies, with cream and sugar, and a cup of Thai iced coffee takes you to Phuket in the hot sun and sea breeze.

The editors of the production process should first prepare very strong coffee. You can choose deep-roasted coffee beans and grind them

Set aside after iced coffee. Generally speaking, the amount of coffee used to make Thai iced coffee is half or twice as much as that of regular coffee. Then put the coffee and fresh green cardamom on the filter and flush water to extract the coffee liquid. The extracted coffee can be dried for a while and let it cool naturally.

In a tall glass, dissolve 1 / 2 teaspoon sugar with a small amount of coffee, add 5 / 6 pieces of ice, and then pour the prepared coffee into the cup, not too much. The liquid is about 2 centimeters from the edge of the glass.

Insert a spoon into the coffee and slowly pour the whipped cream along the handle of the spoon. This is done to allow the cream to float better on the surface of iced coffee without dispersing it quickly. Finally, take out the spoon, insert it into a straw, decorate a small paper umbrella with bright colors, and enjoy it.

At low temperatures, strong coffee and fresh cream are diluted by ice water, and you taste cool, sweet and light coffee, but after a few minutes, you will suddenly find that there is a faint smell of spices in your mouth and mind. Take a gentle breath, do you smell the salt of the sea breeze?

There is also a small twist to this recipe. If you don't like cream floating on ice, you can also use condensed milk instead of cream and sugar, first condensed milk at the bottom of the cup, then coffee, preferably ice. If you go to Thailand, you will often see this practice. The difference is that Thais still put floating cream on the surface of the ice.

In order to make the coffee stronger, some people will also put the deep-roasted coffee powder mixed with cardamom in an Italian espresso pot to make espresso.
