In the list of 62 typical regional drinks, Vietnamese iced milk coffee ranked 3rd.

The website describes it as a combination of dark roasted coffee, condensed milk, and ice.

A cup of Vietnamese coffee brewed from robusta beans through a phin filter.

"It is traditionally made with medium or coarse ground Vietnamese-grown coffee, typically the Robusta variety, which is brewed using a drip phin filter, in which the coffee is brewed and then slowly dripped in the cup," TasteAtlas wrote.

The coffee is then poured over ice and mixed with condensed milk. It is usually served in a tall glass.

Robusta is the most commonly used variety in Vietnam. It attains its strong flavor and a thick texture due to the slow and long dark roast. Occasionally, the beans are also roasted with butter and sugar, while some even decide to add cocoa and vanilla during roasting, TasteAtlas wrote.

Vietnam is currently the world's largest exporter of robusta coffee. This type of bean has a strong bitter taste, low acidity, and a long-lasting aftertaste.

Vietnamese black coffee ranked 6th in TasteAtlas list.

For many Vietnamese, unsweetened iced black coffee is a familiar choice.

Egg coffee, a Hanoi specialty, also made it into the top 10.

This drink combines hot coffee with a creamy layer made from whipped egg yolks and condensed milk.

Egg coffee originated in the 1950s and remains one of the capital's most popular drinks.

Thai red milk tea is the most popular drink in Southeast Asia, followed by Malaysian Ipoh white coffee.
