- Place the cup in the bowl of hot water, add 3 teaspoons coffee into the filter, even the surface with a spoon or/and shake, pour hot water just to cover the coffee.
- When the first dripping done and coffee is warmed up and raises in volume, fasten the filter further then pour water 3/4 the filter, about 1/2 cup of hot water and put the lid on. If it drips too fast, use the spoon to pin the filter-fastener further.
- Crack an egg and discard the whites.
- Put the yolk, honey and the sweetened condensed milk in a small, deep bowl and whisk vigorously until you end up with a frothy, fluffy mixture like the one above. Add a tablespoon of the brewed coffee and whisk it in.
