What is bạc xỉu? 4 delicious and simple ways to make bạc xỉu.

Bac Xiu - a signature drink in Saigon . 'Bac Xiu' is an abbreviation of the phrase 'bac tay xiu phe' (bac - white, tay - empty glass, xiu - a little, phe - coffee), a term used by the Chinese community in Saigon. Simply put, bac xiu is hot milk with a little coffee added.

 

When condensed milk is mixed with boiling water, the resulting drink is often too rich and has an unpleasant smell. To mask the strong taste of condensed milk, the Chinese added a little coffee to the drink. Later, Vietnamese customers became familiar with the flavor of hot milk with added coffee and called it "bac xiu."

"Bạc xỉu" is a glass of milk with coffee flavor, not coffee with milk.
