Ingredients
5 Tbsp. coffee (medium grind works best)
1 egg
Instructions
Beat egg in a small bowl with a fork. Add coffee grounds and mix until you have a sludge.
Bring 7 cups of water to a boil in a large coffee pot or saucepan. Add coffee/egg mixture. Continue boiling until the foam disappears – about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the coffee pot. This will help settle the grounds.
Pour coffee through a strainer to catch any loose grounds. Serve.
