Mix the above and pour over ice.  I'd probably use less water and more
coffee and milk.  (But then I prefer Vietnamese coffee.)
The french coffee served at the Vietnamese restaurants here in Austin make
it with condensed milk, very strong coffee, and the ice.  It is brought to
the table in small glasses with the condensed milk in the bottom and a
small drip coffee maker atop that. Once the coffee has completely dripped
down you stir it up and pour it in a glass of ice. The one place where I
have had Thai coffee brought it to the table already mixed but it had the
same flavor.
You have to get the Thai ground coffee from the Thai market to make the
iced coffee.  From there, just treat it like any regular coffee to make it,
but add LOTS of sugar to sweeten it and then refrigerate to cool it. There
is also a stronger version of Thai coffee called "Oleng" which is very
strong to me and to a lot of coffee lovers.
I've seen at Vietnamese restaurants, and now use at home, Cafe Du Monde
coffee from the New Orleans coffeehouse of the same name. It's available at
Asian stores for a good price. Make doublestrength coffee with this and
pour into a glass with a couple tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (also
from Asian stores), stir to dissolve. Add ice. (if you add the ice before
the coffee, it will be harder to dissolve the thick, syrupy milk).
You can also get little gizmos from Asian stores which are like mini
Bistro-style coffee makers (eg: Bodum): a cup-like thing with perforated
bottom and a plunger-like top which screws onto it. Fill with coffee, add
plunger (but don't screw down tight), then fill with hot water. Let drip
until done into cup with sweetened condensed milk. Stir and pour into glass
with crushed ice.
I forgot to mention, Cafe Du Monde is pretty much a French roast, and has
some chicory in it. Makes the taste of Vietnamese Cafe Sua Da more
interesting than using more mundane coffees.
The Thai Cafe Yen (spelling?) which I've had uses heavy cream instead of
the sweetened condensed milk.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
