I remember going to those pho places and getting orange juice.
And I would always get upset when they bring out a glass full of ice and an inch worth of juice... wtf is this?!?!? I would always throw a tantrum. "Vietnamese people are so freaking cheap!"
Now I understand.
You're supposed to let it melt!
In Vietnam, people put concentrate in a glass full of ice. Because of the heat, the ice melts quickly and after a couple of stirs you have a fresh drink!
In the US, by the time the ice has melted, you're already done with your pho.
WOW! What an epiphany!
