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
