Frothing coffee


(Barbara M) #1

Hey there frothing coffee people of the world. I have a handheld battery frother and am looking for wisdom on how you may prepare any morning hot beverages.

I’ve been adding a couple of tablespoons of hwc, a few shakes of salt, some iodine and then add the brewed coffee. At that point I froth about 30 seconds or so. Is there benefit to froth longer? Any other tips?

I’ve seen mention of adding a yolk instead of the hwc.

Are you frothing the egg as coffee is poured in?

I see the possibility of scrambled egg coffee to be not todays beverage goal or is it like egg drop soup coffee.

I may just need to be brave and go forth and froth with abandon.🥸:coffee::egg:

My very unhelpful comment, I’d whip the cream separately and put it on top. Someone here makes “eggy coffee” which I assume is not a coffee souffle, maybe she’ll chime in.

Beyond that, I’m curious, have you noticed any changes, good or bad, due to the iodine supplementation? I’m using it in my coffee too. At first I felt good, now I seem to be in a slump, but unfortunately I have no idea which of my supplements is causing it, if any.

I only make scrambled egg coffee when my drink cools down and I try to make it warm in the microwave and accidentally use too much time… It’s easy to keep the drink from this fate while making it but yes, I am careful and if I use hot liquid (not near boiling though), I pour it in while mixing (I use an immersion blender, once I had a frother but it was uselessly weak). It gets ready quickly and egg frothes nicely. Especially that I use whites too nowadays. But I usually just use milk or cream in my coffee, much quicker and easier. With whipped cream on top, it even has a lovely foam so all is well.

Happy frothing! :smiley: (Meanwhile I really should quit coffee… I still can make some nice creamy egg milks…)

I use iodine primarily as an preventative event for breast fibrosis. Dr. Ken Berry previously had stated that every cell in our bodies needs iodine. My hypothesis is that tissues that do not get the necessary amount will start proliferating to find it. If it doesn’t, the end result may be tumor growth.

Again, 2 years ago I had a very painful breast and was of course fearful of the dreaded C word. I began super supplementing iodine, up to 20 drops of 2% Lugols and the resulting scans were all negative. My hypothesis only.

It’s gotten to the point where I currently use 2-5 drops most mornings in coffee. I never taste it and believe Dr Berry indicates that any over consumption is excreted.

I do firmly believe that every cell requires some and wish there would be any adjunct treatment to recommend adding it while undergoing any disease treatment. Pretty bold of me, as a non medical provider. Just like penicillin was discovered by accident, iodine could be a secret weapon. Hopefully this theory doesn’t cross a sensitive line.

If you like your coffee, enjoy it! I put some butter and HWC in a half gallon jar and fill to about 7/8 full with coffee from the percolator. I use the immersion blender in it until the foam tries to overflow the jar, maybe 30 to 45 seconds. It goes with breakfast… or on occasion is breakfast.

Mostly, I like the richness the butter adds and know that if I don’t do the immersion blender thing I’ll end up with an oil slick on top of my coffee… and as much as I love butter, I’d rather not have it that way.

If you really want something else in there, iodine, egg, whatever, give it a go and see if you like it. If you do, great! If you don’t, don’t do that anymore. :slight_smile:
