Very easy and delicious. Made a shot of espresso, added a few dashes of cardamom and a teaspoon of the sweetened condensed milk.

I was looking up ways to use up sweetened condensed milk; I had been meaning to try this recipe because I like cardamom. I think I'd like this better served on ice because it is so sweet. I'll make it again but will use less of the milk next time for drinking hot.

Nice way to round off your homemade Thai meal! This reminds me a bit of the Malaysian style of adding evaporated milk or condensed milk to coffee (my mother's country), although she says you can't replicate the aunthentic coffee shop style she grew up with of course. I follwed this recipe for single serving and used 2 Tablespoons Illy decaf ground espresso in a one cup melitta filter, with 1/8 of the cardamom. So I agree with the reviewer who said make the coffee very strong so it can handle the condensed milk which is great. The cardamom not too overpowering. I drank it hot but I'm sure it would be great on ice too. Thank you!

I feel bad for the reviewer in that all of the low ratings seem to be based on the fact that this is not "authentic." Cardamon is expensive and hard to find. I found on-line a good subtitute is a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg. I used a good brewed coffee and just added a little of both. I added the sweetened condensed milk, but the coffee tasted more spicy than sweet. I would have rated it higher, but I guess I just don't care too much for spice in coffee other than pumpkin spice in the fall. I do agree with others that I think this would be better iced to for some reason. It could just be when I think of really spicy coffee I think of winter.

If you have an espresso machine, make one or two shots of espresso and put it in a Pyrex bowl or measuring cup. Add the sweetened, condensed milk to taste (1-4T) and LOTS of ice. Stir until the ice cools the coffee down and pour into a glass. I agree with another reviewer who says that the secret to making this is to have VERY strong coffee or espresso!

This isn't quite as good as what I've had in Thai restaurants but it's still good! I did make the coffee stronger, as others suggested, but I also like my regular coffee extra strong. I really like the cardamom taste and the sweetened condensed milk makes it very smooth!

Well, maybe the recipe name should be changed to "Ameri-Thai Coffee", but in its own right it is a very tasty, homemade gourmet coffee recipe. It is especially nice that it can be made without an espressor machine. Take this from a woman who used to be a Starbuck's barista! ;)

I am of Thai decent. This was a good attempt. Unfortunately, most Thai places are "Americanized" but you can buy real Thai Coffee in Asian supermarkets or online. You will taste the difference right away.
