💡Tips
1. Adjusting the Consistency
The final consistency of your drink is largely determined by the ratio of liquid to eggs. If you prefer a thicker, more custard like drink, use less water. For a thinner, more drinkable consistency, add more water.
Start with the amount I mentioned, then adjust in small increments until you find your perfect texture.
Remember that the drink will thicken slightly as it cools, so you might want to make it a bit thinner than your ideal consistency.
If you find you’ve made it too thick, you can always whisk in a little more hot water at the end.
2. Egg Separation
When separating the egg whites from the yolks, take your time to ensure a clean separation. This is really important for achieving the right texture in your drink.
Start by cracking the egg gently on a flat surface, not the edge of a bowl, to prevent shell fragments from getting into your egg.
Then, carefully open the egg over a small bowl, allowing the white to fall while keeping the yolk in one half of the shell.
Gently transfer the yolk back and forth between the two halves of the shell, letting the white drop into the bowl below.
