Introduction<\/h2>\n

Egg coffee is a unique old-fashioned drink originating from Sweden. It is made with egg, coffee and milk or cream, resulting in a luxurious and comforting coffee-based hot drink. It has a creamy taste and a smooth, velvety texture – light enough to feel like a mousse but just heavy enough to feel like a cappuccino. Egg coffee has been around for nearly a century, and although it is typically a Scandinavian beverage, the recipe has become a popular one all around the world for its unique flavor, lightness and characteristics. So, how does one make and drink egg coffee?<\/p>\n

Making Egg Coffee<\/h2>\n

To make a cup of classic, creamy egg coffee, all you need is a yolk, strong black coffee, unsalted butter and heavy cream, or alternatively, milk. First, separate the yolk from the egg, and lightly whisk it with a little cold water or espresso to emulsify it before adding it to the brewed coffee. You can then add a small spoon of butter or cream, and use a spoon or a whisk to gently mix everything together. You’re ready to drink your egg coffee!<\/p>\n

Heat and Texture<\/h2>\n

For the best texture and taste, the egg should be nearly at room temperature. If your egg has been cold, you can warm it in a small pan over low heat, but do not let it scramble. Make sure that the coffee you use is also fresh and hot, so that it will dissolve the egg properly. After the egg has been properly added, the texture of your egg coffee should be creamy and velvety, with a light but luxurious feel.<\/p>\n

Health Benefits<\/h2>\n

Egg coffee not only tastes delicious but it also has several health benefits that can help give you an extra boost of energy. Because regular coffee alone can be acidic and cause stomach problems, the egg counteracts this by adding more protein and a smoother texture to the coffee, and thus helping to improve digestion. The protein in the egg adds to the nutritive value of the cup, giving you higher energy levels. This protein-rich drink also contains caffeine, although in an exceptionally smaller amount than a shot of espresso, but enough to wake and energize you.<\/p>\n
