Kopi Talua
Kopi Talua is a traditional Indonesian drink, originating from West Sumatra, that combines the richness of egg yolks with the robustness of coffee. This comforting beverage is known for its creamy texture and unique blend of sweet and bitter notes. Typically, the preparation involves whisking egg yolks with sugar to create a frothy layer before pouring in hot coffee. Sometimes, a touch of condensed milk and a dash of aromatic spices like cinnamon or nutmeg are added for extra flavor. The result is a beautifully layered drink that's both warming and invigorating, often enjoyed as a breakfast treat or an energizing afternoon pick-me-up.
