For this experiment, check that the egg-and-grounds mixture reaches at least that temperature before removing it from the heat. Do not taste the raw paste. Wash your hands and clean the bowl, spoon, and counter after handling the uncooked egg.
If serving anyone with an egg allergy, do not offer this drink. Straining does not make an egg-containing recipe egg-free. Tell guests what is in it before they drink, even if revealing the unusual ingredient afterward sounds like a fun surprise.
Add Cold Water, Then Strain Carefully
Remove the saucepan from the heat. The source adds one cup of cold water at this point to cool the brew and help the mixture settle. Pour gently to avoid splashing hot liquid.
Let the solids settle enough to make pouring manageable, then strain the coffee into your heatproof jug. Use a fine strainer, with a paper coffee filter if you want an additional barrier against little bits. Keep the strainer supported securely.
Do not squeeze hot clumps with your bare hands or rush the pour. Set the pan down between steps if needed. Once the solids are cool, discard them and wash the equipment as you would after other egg-containing recipes.
