Different product. You're talking about Thai iced tea, which is made by
floating half-and-half on top of heavily sweetened spiced tea. The tea goes
in first, and the sugar is in the tea.

The Vietnamese iced coffee is made by pouring sweetened condensed milk into
a glass with ice, then allowing coffee to drip into it. The milk goes in
first, and the sugar is in the milk. Condensed milk is far too dense to
float on top.
