Egg Coffee

 Egg Coffee is a Scandinavian thing... it is Church Basement Coffee.

Egg Coffee

Boil 9 cups of water in a coffee pot on top of the stove.  In a bowl mix an entire egg (Yes you can use the shell too if you wish) into 3/4 cup of coffee grounds with 1/4 cup of water.  Drop the egg and coffee mixture into the pot and let is simmer a bit then add a cup of cold water to help settle the grounds a bit, use a coffee strainer to strain into a cup and enjoy!

Most likely the best coffee ever!  Our neighbor Arvilla made egg coffee all the time.

  6. I have never heard of such a thing. I would try it but don't drink coffee so I'll take your word on how good it is.

  7. I have never heard of Egg Coffee. Always something new, 'er in this case old, to learn. No doubt the egg adds some nutrition and grit.

  13. I've never heard of egg coffee. I can just hear Dan if I mention putting an egg in the coffee. :) I'm so sorry to hear about your sister's husband. That's so sad. Enjoyed hearing about Starbucks at your dentist's office. :)

  14. My first time learning of it. Just makes me want to go back through history to find out the reasoning of why or how this came about. Who first came up with it...I'm going to read about it now because it has me wondering. Happy Monday Connie

  15. I don't think my Scandinavian grandmother made egg coffee. She liked hers very black though.

  16. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try it but who knows? It may taste great. I tend to like my coffee black and nothing in it .

  17. Eeew! Ha! Ha! But then, I don't like any kind of coffee. We sure went through a lot at the funeral luncheon at church today. It was 3F and we had three of those huge pots going. Only a few cups left at the end of the lunch. Praying for all of you and thinking of your sister. Such a shock.
    Blessings and hugs,

  20. LD...I had it once at a campsite in Colorado. I didn't understand the science. I think I am too lazy to try it.
