Ingredients (Makes 8–10 Cups)
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coarse-ground coffee | 1 cup | Dark roast works best |
| Large egg | 1 | Use whole egg with shell |
| Cold water | 1 cup | For mixing |
| Boiling water | 8–9 cups | For brewing |
| Salt (optional) | Pinch | Enhances flavor |
Equipment: Large pot, fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, ladle
Instructions
1. Prepare the egg
Crack the whole egg, including the shell, into a bowl. Whisk until fully combined.
2. Mix with coffee grounds
In a large pot, combine the coffee grounds, egg mixture, and 1 cup cold water. Stir until a thick paste forms.
3. Add boiling water
Slowly pour the boiling water into the pot and stir gently.
4. Simmer
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3–5 minutes. A layer will form on top as the coffee brews.
5. Add cold water
Remove from heat and pour in about ½ cup ice-cold water. This helps the grounds settle to the bottom.
6. Let settle
Allow the coffee to sit undisturbed for 5–10 minutes.
7. Strain and serve
Ladle the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into mugs. Serve black or with cream and sugar.
