Vietnamese Egg Coffee
Born from necessity, Cà Phê Trứng (Egg Coffee) is a testament to ingenuity. When fresh milk was scarce, whisked egg yolks provided the creamy richness needed to tame the strong bite of Vietnamese Robusta beans. The result is a drink that sits somewhere between a morning brew and a custard dessert.
