FAQs on How to Make Egg Coffee

A: While traditionally made with Vietnamese ground coffee, you can use instant coffee if you prefer. However, the flavor may differ slightly.
Q: Can I use egg whites instead of egg yolks?
A: Egg yolks are essential for creating the creamy texture and rich flavor of egg coffee. Using egg whites will not yield the same results.
Q: Can I make egg coffee without condensed milk?
A: Sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess to the coffee. If you prefer, you can substitute it with regular milk and sweeten it with sugar or another sweetener of your choice.
