egg coffee
Yolk-whipped caffeine drink
Egg coffee is a Vietnamese drink made by whipping egg yolk with sweetened condensed milk and strong coffee, creating a rich, creamy foam that sits atop the brew.
The texture resembles liquid tiramisu: I ordered an egg coffee at a Hanoi café.
In Scandinavian tradition, egg coffee instead refers to coffee brewed with a raw egg mixed into the grounds, which clarifies the liquid and mellows bitterness.
