Egg coffee is something most people don’t know about. It’s very Swedish/Midwestern. My mom’s mom made it often at christmas time. She is of Swedish decent.
It creates a very smooth, light cup of coffee, and all you really need is a pot, a cup, and a spoon.
Egg Coffee
Water
1 egg
Coffee Grounds
- Bring water to a boil. I use this camping coffee pot, but you can use a regular pot too.
- In a bowl mix 1 spoonful coffee plus 1, per cup water with 1 egg. (So 8 cups of water would be 9 spoonfuls grounds. “One per cup, plus one for the pot” I use a regular tea spoon. I round it a little bit, so it’s probably a scant tablespoon. ) If you’re doing a lot of coffee, you can add up to 2 T water to the egg. It should be a very thick almost gloopy consistancy.
- Once the water is boiling add the grounds. Make sure to get all of it out! I stir the spoon once around the pot to make sure everything is off the spoon. Bring back to a boil.
- Cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Once the time is up remove from heat and you’re good to go!
- When pouring, usually the first cup needs straining, but everything else, until the last cup, shouldn’t have much, if any, sediment in it.
Enjoy your coffee with a sweet in the true Swedish fashion.
