Another coffee recipe I learned in the Yucatán region of Mexico was a traditional Mexican coffee. While steeping the coffee you add whole cinnamon, whole cloves, and whole allspice, chunks of a tart apple, pear or guava. Let them all steep together, then pour a cup including a chunk of fruit if you want. Add a shot of tequila and drink. It was quite good! This is how one person explained it to me, I’m sure there are variations.
Thanks Mark for the video. I had a Swedish friend when I was in high school. He would make his camp coffee this way. I personally liked my eggs in the frypan.
I use an enamel camp coffee pot I guess you could say cowboy coffee I never clean that pot its fully seasoned I bring the water to a boil then I turn off the heat I let it sit for a minute until the water settles down Then I add my coffee, steep for 10 minutes Pour into my cup with a small fine mesh strainer Works well! I use a coffee and chicory blend
This same technique is often used to clarify stock, especially in French cooking; the egg/impurity mixture floats to the top and is often called a raft. I never though considered using it for coffee. Very interesting.
I feel the same about wasting a good egg on a regular basis. Happy to try the method and maybe occasionally have it. Unfortunately more things nowadays require you to think about the cheapest way to achieve a similar result due to higher cost of living.
I seem to recall reading about cowboy coffee some 60 years ago. They mentioned using the splash of cold water to settle the grounds, but they also suggested cracking an egg into the pot, after the coffee had boiled, for the same purpose. I would imagine that it wouldn't give all the benefits of the Scandinavian method.
I'm a coffee lover, I usually French press my coffee, looking for other techniques, will have to try this....great video of sharing knowledge...thanks!
My Swedish heritage introduced coffee with egg as the normal way to prepare it in my youth. Our method was to mix the raw egg in a jar with a about 2 cups of water. Before boiling the coffee water, we added about one half cup of the egg water in with the coffee and water. I estimate about one half cup. The rest could be stored in the refrigerator to be used later. Next.. bring the water to a boil and as it rose to the top of the pot, pull it off the burner allowing it to sink back in and repeat once more. Then we let it rest while the grounds settled for a few minutes before pouring it through a strainer. We also added milk to cool it off or to taste. It was always the best coffee to me. I haven't ever seen it done the same way.
I have enjoyed Java Blend, locally roasted coffee for years located on North Street, Halifax. Give it a try when in HRM. I’m enjoying your very informative channel.
I started drinking Java Blend in 1980 when they still roasted on Granville St. I would stop in while I walked the beat. The smell of roasting coffee would make me shake let alone a fresh made cup. Thanks for commenting
I used to work in a restaurant named Denny's and there was an oriental guy and he used to take a raw egg and after he poured his coffee he would put the egg in the coffee and let it cook for a little bit bet and then when you drink your coffee you would drink the egg to and it was really good
Yes, I have been trying to get that technique perfected for myself before sharing. Often called Vietnamese egg coffee. It is good and add nutrition. Thanks for commenting
Interesting! Never heard of that trick before! Mark I seen a wood stove that caught my eye that I was interested in maybe purchasing. Boundless Voyage Ti wood stove single wall model AIB Ti2002C. Maybe it caught your eye to!
Mark has reviewed it an earlier video I believe. I bought one but not had a chance to try it out. EDIT my bad I think that was another channel, I can’t find any video of Mark reviewing that stove. There are some reviews on that stove under the Nature hike branding, it’s the exact same stove.
I have spoken with Boundless Voyage and they agreed to send me a wood stove. They have two interesting ones. Not sure which one they are sending. Thanks for commenting
I need egg prices to come down. I wonder if any of the nutrition from the egg makes it into the liquid. Does it add any sulfur aroma? My hubby always keeps hard boiled eggs in the fridge. I really dislike that scent. I do like a smooth tasting coffee.
I make hard boiled eggs and leave them in the fridge as well. My wife often comments on the "stink". Goes away after a day or so. I get no egg smell or taste at all in the coffee. Likely because of the boiling. Thanks for commenting
Hmmm... had to think about that. I would be fine with it if it works that way but I think the yolk got bound up with the white and coffee. At least most of it. I have made (and will make a video on it) Vietnamese Egg Coffee. Also tastes quite good but very sweet
You mentioned not wanting to dump the coffee grinds onto the forest ground due to not being environmentally friendly 😳🤨. My coffee grinds always goes into my compost and make fantastic soil mixture for my vegetable garden. I would believe the same would be very good for the forest soil.
Yes, coffee grounds will compost but, from a Leave No Trace Perspective, anything that does not originate in the forest should not be left there. It can alter, albeit very slightly, the ecology. This can add up and make big changes. Thanks for commenting
Sounds like I'll have to try it once. But eggs are worth their weight in gold in my house, so I can't imagine the taste being worth the waste of an egg - at least I hope not.
I've used ice cream to shock my coffee if I'm say staying at a Airbnb that doesn't have a coffee maker. I've also done it while I'm at home when the coffee pot is running through the dishwasher and I want to make a cup of coffee real quick. Worst cup of coffee I've ever made I accidentally put buttermilk in the coffee. At the current cost of eggs I don't see me making coffee with the Scandinavian egg technique.
Who on earth said boiling bad coffee would make it better!? I used to be so into coffee that it got to be too much, so I stopped drinking it, but the temperature and duration of contact always had a lot to do with it…….eggs on the other hand had zero to do with it. 😀
That coffee looks mighty thin 🤔🧐🤔🥴 Well, that is one thing I don't even want to try...like you said, it's a waste of egg! I rather chew on the coffee grounds...
@@SnowyAspenHills With my pour over coffee, I only use two scoops approx 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, and it looks very thick. I was comparing it to my morning coffee which is VERY fine ground, so I use less coffee.

Here in Norway we typically cook egg coffee to celebrate the first sunrise in April. But only if it rises in the west!

Exactly.

You had me hooked when you mentioned Saskatoon! I'm from southeast Saskatchewan and adore the outdoors!
as well, I think you would retain a portion of the eggs nutrition so sounds like a win-win!
Love the Ramage coffee. I am working on another coffee and egg recipe. Thanks for commenting

If you have any farmers markets in your area cuz they have a regular eggs and they're really cheap
Keep the boiled eggs in a plastic bag or Tupperware container.
