Egg coffee is one of the national drink in Hanoi. Although it has been very popular in many cafes in Hanoi, I just had tried it last year when I travelled there. And I instantly fell in love from the first sip. Since then, it becomes the only coffee menu I had ordered, day and night, while in Hanoi.
Back at home, I missed this drink a lot. So here I am trying to make this drink by my own. This recipe can be served for two persons.
First of all, gather two egg yolks in a bowl together with one tablespoon sugar, vanilla and two tablespoons of condensed milk. You can add one more tablespoon of sugar depends on the sweetness you prefer but for me, I like my coffee to be slightly bitter. You can use stand mixer but making this little amount of ingredients I just use the hand-mixer. Whip them for about 10 minutes and egg mixture will look near to creamy than frothy.
Meanwhile brew you black coffee. Vietnamese coffee drip is preferable but otherwise any instant coffee powder will do. Sit them in the hot water bath to keep the temperature high. So you will not end up with cold coffee later.
Gently spoon the egg mixture straight on top of the coffee and give them a stir before you enjoy your coffee. It tastes somehwere between drink and dessert.
This method, however, will have some egg-y taste from the raw egg. If you want to remove the bad smell, you need to do double boiler while whipping the egg mixture.
Have my coffee over the meal will definitely make my dull morning great again. This morning I had them with my simple tuna sandwich with some greens and topped with my-all-time favorite sriracha mayonnaise. Deliciousssssss......
