SWEDISH EGG COFFEE

My sisters and I have drunk this coffee since we were old enough to hold a cup.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 large egg
coffee, regular grind
water

Steps:

  • 1. Fill coffeepot half full of water. Fill a teakettle with water. Put both on the stove to bring to a boil.
  • 2. Break egg into a small jar. Add about a tablespoon of water. Replace lid and shake vigorously to blend well.
  • 3. Spoon desired amount of coffee for the cups needed into a small bowl.
  • 4. Pour some of the egg mixture over coffee in the bowl until well moistened. Mix well.
  • 5. When water is boiling, add coffee mixture to the coffeepot and stir a couple of times and then leave it alone. Watch closely. It will boil over FAST!
  • 6. When the coffee mixture in pot starts to come to a boil and rises in the pot, turn off heat and top off the pot with boiling water from the teakettle.
  • 7. Cover coffee and let set for a minute with no heat. After a minute pour about 1/4 cup cold water over grounds floating in the pot (this helps them settle).
  • 8. Cover coffeepot and let it set for another minute or two. If grounds have not settled, gently push them down with a spoon.
  • 9. Pour coffee into cups through a strainer. Enjoy with milk or cream and sugar or just black!
