Have you ever tried traditional Scandinavian egg coffee? It may not sound appetizing, but this is actually a very popular beverage, and you can easily learn how to do it. It will take you around 20 minutes of prep and brew time, but it’ll certainly be worth it.

Instructions

In order to make the drink, you’re required to add a raw egg to the coffee grounds before you start the brewing process. Some people even add the shells. This creates a thick mixture that comes with a unique set of benefits. The egg clarifies the coffee and helps the grounds separate from the water.

It also extracts the bitterness and gives your beverage a better aroma. There’s no sign of bitterness or acidity in the brew. After you let it simmer for a few minutes, the grounds will float to the top and leave you with a clear, mild beverage.

You can watch the process of making it and learn more about it in the video below. We hope you’ll give this unique drink a try and see for yourself if it’s worth adding the extra steps to your typical morning brew!
