Next Time in Hue, Try Traditional Salt Coffee!

Image
The coffee consists of condensed milk, a layer of fermented milk with salt, and a traditional aluminum coffee filter on top. After waiting for about three minutes, the color of the coffee cup gradually changes as the black coffee drops gradually fall into the pure white salt cream. Finally, after stirring the cup, you can add a few ice cubes and enjoy. At first, you will feel unfamiliar with the flavors, as salt coffee is much different from the daily coffee that you have. Its unique taste is created from the sweetness of milk, the bitterness of coffee, and the salt blended together. Salt has the role of neutralizing, highlighting the sweetness of milk, and reducing the bitter taste. The secret of a good cup of coffee is the right amount of salt, which makes the drink richer in flavor. Here are the 6 best café destinations that make the best salt coffee for your taste in Hue. 1.

To cover the rest, I go to work to earn money and borrow some more t
