Common Questions

Does the egg scramble in hot coffee?

Nope! The egg yolk, cream, and sugar form a “custard” so the egg is heated and semi-cooked, but it maintains it’s custardy texture once the hot coffee is poured over.

Is it safe to consume raw egg yolks?

As mentioned above, the yolk is somewhat “cooked” when the hot coffee is added. Is it safe to consume raw egg yolks? Depends on who you ask! Many people consume foods with raw eggs regularly without thinking twice. Raw eggs can be found in homemade mayonnaise, sauces and dressings, coffee, etc.

Does egg yolk coffee taste like eggs?

No! If you’ve ever had homemade custard, egg yolk coffee tastes like that. And homemade custard is rich, velvety, and delicious.

Can you make non-caffeinated egg yolk drinks?

Yes! Dandelion root is a delicious alternative to coffee. Dandelion root tea is my favorite substitute for coffee in this recipe. It’s incredibly nourishing and more easily tolerated during pregnancy and postpartum when many women experience caffeine sensitivity.

Benefits of Egg Yolk Coffee

1. Egg yolks (especially pastured/true free range) are one of the very best sources of fat and amino acids. They’re also rich in choline, folate, & retinol – all of which are essential for optimal brain + nervous system development and function.

2. Coffee can be a highly beneficial gentle metabolic stimulant for healthy women when paired with nutrient-rich foods like raw cream, egg yolk, collagen, or maple syrup. Pairing coffee with egg yolk + cream + a natural sugar source has so many benefits. It stabilizes blood sugar, increases metabolism, naturally, increases progesterone, and can majorly boost mood.

3. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and does so much more than give us healthy skin. It also supports a healthy metabolism + detoxification, is great for gut health, is anti-inflammatory, helps build muscle, and provides glycine which promotes brain function.

4. Raw dairy is a nutritional powerhouse – it’s practically a meal in and of itself.  It contains all essential amino acids, vitamins A, K2, D, and B vitamins.

5. Maple syrup is a mineral-rich, natural source of sugar.  It’s easily used by the body because the sugar in maple syrup is primarily in sucrose form – which is very quickly digested and made into energy.
