Notes
Some altervative brewing methods:
While you can make egg coffee using a traditional stovetop method, it’s essential to use a coffee maker or kettle that can bring the water to a full boil.
For the smoothest brew, we recommend using a French press for the straining process. This will help you achieve a clean, well-extracted cup of coffee without any excess grounds.
A pour-over method can also work if you’re looking for a more controlled brewing process, but make sure to use a coarser grind to get the best flavor.
You can always experiment with variations to suit your personal taste. Here are a few ideas to try:
Add a Dash of Cinnamon or Cardamom: Scandinavians love their spices, and adding a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the coffee-egg paste will give the brew an aromatic kick. These spices are a staple in Nordic baking and pair perfectly with the creamy texture of the *egg coffee*.
Sweeten It Up: If you like your coffee a little sweeter, try adding a spoonful of honey or maple syrup before brewing. This will give the coffee a natural sweetness that balances out the rich flavors of the egg and coffee.
Cold Brew Variation: For a refreshing twist, try making *egg coffee* with cold brew coffee. The slow, cold extraction method will bring out even more complex flavors, making for a slightly different, yet equally delightful, version of this Scandinavian classic.
