SALT COFFEE
ORIGIN
Salt coffee in the world
People from Siberia, Turkey, Northern Scandinavia, and Hungary say that salted coffee has long been a part of their cultures.
The US ocean fleets developed a method to reduce/separate salt in seawater to create fresh water for drinking during World War II when they were continuously on duty.
The taste of the coffee changed in a pretty refreshing way when sailors used that water to brew it. They learn about salted coffee in this way.

HOW IT MADE
When the coffee has finished filtering, stir the cream and coffee together, then comes another unusual feature of salt coffee in Vietnam. You add ice cubes or not if you want.
The combination of sweeted cream, salt, and the Vietnamese coffee beans, which are quite different to western coffee, give the drink a salted caramel or fudge-like flavour.
Your coffee will come to the table dripping down into your coffee cup from the phin. The base of the cup will already contain salted cream or sweetened condensed milk.
Most Hue cafes will serve salt coffee, but this one is particularly popular and famous.

SALT IN COFFEE
You can add salt to coffee alongside sugar or instead of sugar. You can drink your coffee with salt black, or with sweetened creamers or condensed milk as they do in Vietnam.
If you use good quality salt (Himalayan, rock salt, or sea salt) rather than table salt, adding salt to your coffee may maye your cup of coffee more healthy than coffee with sugar and creamers.
If you’d like to try salted coffee, simply add 1/4 tsp to your cup of coffee.
Salt coffee can be hot or cold. In our example of Vietnamese salted coffee, the coffee is brewed hot, then dripped onto a cup of ice to be drunk cold.
