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.
Nordic it might be, but not Danish as I newer heard of this before.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! Would love to try a cup, but I don’t think I’ll make it.
ReplyDeleteI want to try egg coffee. It really sounds horrible though. 🤪🤪
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of egg coffee. I think I’ll pass! 😁

Yes - church basement coffee! Maybe it's a Minnesota thing. Uffda!! Last time I made egg coffee was at my home town church in Minnesota. It was good coffee.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI'd try this coffee but it doesn't sound that great.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteThe Germans in Ohio always include the egg shell! It's required!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm always interested in new things to eat or drink.
ReplyDeleteI lived in northern Ohio until my mid 20s and I remember the Germans there always including the egg shell, too !!!! Wow... blast from the past.... Dawn P. Albany, GA
ReplyDeleteDo you love it? New to me for sure!
ReplyDeleteBoy Scout camp outs used the same recipe... leaders had to have their coffee!
ReplyDeleteI'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. :)
ReplyDeleteMy 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
ReplyDeleteI don't think my Scandinavian grandmother made egg coffee. She liked hers very black though.
ReplyDeleteI'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 .
ReplyDeleteEeew! 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.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
I have heard of egg coffee but have never tried it.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this till now
ReplyDeleteSounds nasty but who knows until you try it!
ReplyDeleteLD...I had it once at a campsite in Colorado. I didn't understand the science. I think I am too lazy to try it.
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth?!? :-o
ReplyDeleteMy Mother's side of the family, had an Great Aunt that made it all the time. She was famous for it. My mother loved it.
