It's built upside down: sweetened condensed milk pools at the bottom of the glass, so the first sip is nearly black before it turns sweet and creamy.

Cambodian iced coffee is strong dark-roast coffee, often brewed through a small metal drip filter, poured over ice with a generous layer of sweetened condensed milk at the bottom. Vendors sell it from roadside carts and market stalls in tall glasses, ready to stir together as you drink.

Why it's made this way: It reflects the French-colonial coffee tradition fused with Southeast Asian sweetened dairy, and remains a fixture of everyday Cambodian street life from morning markets to night stalls.
