Egg Cream Coffee

Coffee is just coffee, right? Well, not so much so if you go to a drive-through with a detailed order! Every country has its own versions of coffee and a plethora of recipes. This one’s from Vietnam.
Egg cream coffee may not sound delicious at first, but it’s considered quite the treat in Vietnam. For those in the US, you’ll probably enjoy its silky, creamy, light sweetness, too. You can’t beat simple ingredients: egg yolk, sweetened condensed milk, and espresso! Give this recipe a try. You’ll probably come back for more.
