![This is tea. Some sort of chocolate/spice mix. It was okay, but I secretly wished it was Klava which I assume would look something like that.
Found this Klava recipe by Terry Mancour:
Mix 4 tbs. honey with 1 oz. of cream (substitute sweetened condensed milk if you aren’t a Drageran purist) and make Vietnamese coffee into it. To do that you need the brewer, which is a little stainless steel hat you can sometimes get at Asian supermarkets.
Take a medium-to-dark roast coffee (prefer a Full City Ethipoian Yergacheffe, myself, but Vietnam was colonized by the French, so they use French Roast coffee which is like eating burnt steak) grind it coursely (perc or French Press grind) and pour the desired amount of near-boiling hot water into the top. It takes a few moments, but the result is enchanting.
Addition: You put [eggshells] in the coffee grounds, only about 1/2 tsp. rinsed and crushed per serving.
It’s not a real one though, as there should be wood chips with the ground beans and eggshells. (“Hickory works well, also fegra, cherrywood, and crocra.It’s the wood, or combination of woods,that makes each version unigue.” (Issola; Brust, Steven))](http://25.media.tumblr.com/wPvdz4E0xilmrgbyboQrw19yo1_500.jpg)
