Egg coffee

Common card · No. 236669

Egg coffee (Vietnamese: Cà phê trứng, (Vietnamese: [kà fe ʈ͡ʂɯ̌ŋ])) is a Vietnamese drink traditionally prepared with egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk and robusta coffee. The drink is made by filtering coffee beans in a phin, and beating egg yolks with sugar and condensed milk over heat to get egg-cream component. The drink is served in cafes throughout Vietnam, originating in Hanoi. The Giang Café (Vietnamese: Cà Phê Giảng) in Hanoi is known for serving the drink, which it makes with egg yolk, coffee powder, condensed milk, and, optionally, cheese. The cup is sometimes served inside a bowl of hot water or set upon a small candle to retain its temperature. The son of the café's founder Nguyen Giang claims that his father developed the recipe for the drink when milk was scarce in Vietnam in the late 1940s, replacing milk with egg yolk.
