Ingredients:

• 1 fresh egg
• 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee (preferably strong and hot)
• Optional: honey or a sweetener of your choice
• Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for flavor enhancement

Instructions:

1. Separate the Egg: Separate the egg white and yolk. If you prefer a smoother texture, use only the yolk. For a frothier texture, whip the white until it forms soft peaks.
2. Mix the Egg with Coffee: Whisk the egg yolk with a small amount of hot coffee to temper it. This prevents the egg from cooking unevenly when introduced to heat. Gradually add more coffee, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Add Flavors (Optional): If you like your coffee slightly sweet, add honey to taste. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
4. Combine with Whipped Egg White (Optional): If you used the egg white, gently fold it into the coffee and egg yolk mixture until well combined. This step is optional but adds a delightful frothiness to the drink.
5. Serve Immediately: Pour the coffee and egg mixture into a cup and enjoy it warm. The result is a creamy, rich coffee that’s unlike anything you’ve had before.

A Word of Caution

Ensure the eggs are fresh and properly handled to avoid the risk of salmonella. Some prefer to use pasteurized eggs for safety.
