Does anyone else use sweetened condensed milk as a sweetener?

I use this in my double espresso every morning with a bit of vanilla creamer.

Am I a heathen?

Vietnamese coffee uses condensed milk. It's pretty good!

I only drink that occasionally though. I normally don't sweeten my coffee.

I do this too - it's delicious and super easy to make!

Nope! My go-to's are French press, drip, or espresso. All of them straight up.

But occasionally, I like Vietnamese coffee which is made with condensed milk. You're no heathen.

Nope. The best coffee is what you enjoy!

Try it with some cinnamon and sugar on top with steamed milk of your choice. Spanish latte, and they're one of my favorite espresso beverages.

It's old school cool. It used to be a treat back before refrigeration. My dad used to visit a peach farm as a kid, and his relatives would bring out the condensed milk to put it in his tea.

Double espresso with sweetened condensed milk sounds amazing!

I used to make my own creamer with sweetened condensed milk! The only reason I don't still do it is because I got lazy, lol. It's delicious! I think I'm going to start making it again :)

It was a 1:1 ratio of sweetened condensed milk and another milk of choice (usually 2% for me) and 2 tsp of whatever flavored extract I was in the mood for, usually raspberry or vanilla, occasionally chocolate syrup too.

I use chocolate oat milk, its surprisingly good creamer and much cheaper to get a full pint of it
