For those who love to travel to Vietnam in their own kitchen...
If you want things fast, make this iced coffee using a cup of espresso.
Vietnamese Iced Coffee ingredients
-3 tablespoons dark roast coffee
-3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
-a few ice cubes
Preparation
1.Put the sweetened condensed milk in a cup and add ice.
2.Put the dark roast coffee in a Vietnamese coffee press. You don't
need to go all the way to Vietnam to get these stainless steel looking
Vietnamese coffee presses. They do sell copy-cat single cup coffee
makers in glass-plastic in your decent household shop. (In Malaysia
these single cup coffee makers can be found e.g. in the Isetan malls)
3.Add water that just comes off the boil (for half a cup if you don't
want to monitor when your cup will overflow due to the extra ice in
your cup.) If you have a real Vietnamese coffee maker, screw to adjust
the lid over the coffee until you see bubbles appearing through the
water. At this point your coffee starts drips very, very slow in your
cup, which for me is still the charm of Vietnamese coffee!
4.When your cup is filled with dripped coffee, give it a stir and drink
your Vietnamese iced coffee!
You can also make Vietnamese iced coffee with a cup of espresso:
Put the sweetened condensed milk in a cup, add ice and poor your cup of
espresso over it!

I love Vietnamese food and coffee, even though I usually drink coffee
that hasn't been sweetened. I've read that most of the coffee they
drink in Vietnam is cut with chicory; I wonder if that's a factor in
the use of sweetened milk?

Usually the condensed milk goes in the cup where you are dripping
the coffee into. Otherwise it's hard to dissolve.

I also love this kind of coffee, but I've found that the basic
approach is similar to that used in Chinese and Korean restaurants.
It's primarily based on the recipe used by the French when they
occupied parts of those regions. So, I'd say that the use of
sweetened milk is a French thing, rather than simply to overcome the
taste of the chicory (then again, a number of alt'ers here think that
French coffee is bad enough in it's own rights, so...)

A far less complicated recipe that provides the same results can be
achieved by soaking a chunk of asphalt in tepid water for approx 4
minutes. Strain, then pour over ice.

Sometimes, if I'm in sweet tooth/dessert mode, I'll pull a double shot into
a cup with a little more than a teaspoon of sweetened condensed milk in it.
"""Warning"""--- be prepared to paint the house, chop down a tree or take on
some other heroic task if you combine espresso and sweetened condensed milk.
It will get your motor running.

I have never had Vietnamese Iced coffee or without ice, but I am
intrigued by it. On one site it says you should use coffee such as
Cafe du Monde so that you get the chicory taste. Is this correct?
Also, does any pet milk work or should one stay with a particular
type?
Lastly, if the taste that good to go to the trouble to get all the
stuff to make it? Pics of the finished product looks good to me!
Thanks for your thoughts,
Caesar

Go to a Vietnamese restaurant and try some.
I like that style of coffee a lot, and always have it in Vietnamese
places. I think of it as coffee + dessert. Supposedly, Vietnamese
coffee *is* usually mixed with chicory. I don't think it's troublesome
at all to make.
