📖 Substitutions & Variations
- Ghee – instead of ghee, you can use grass fed cow butter too. You can use 1 tablespoon for this recipe.
- Vegan – use coconut oil or MCT oil, 1 tablespoon for 1 cup coffee.
- Flavored – You can make it flavored with cinnamon or nutmeg or a even a splash of vanilla extract may be?
🔪 Equipment
I have used IKEA milk frother and the coffee machine is Preethi drip coffee maker.
🫙 Storage
This coffee is meant to be consumed immediately. The ghee in coffee can become a layer, so drink it before it cools down.
🧑🏻🍳 Top tip
Use a hand blender or a milk frother for best results. Ghee gets emulsified this way as well as gives smooth, creamy texture to the coffee.
Serve the coffee in insulated cups (wash in hot water prior serving) to keep it hot.
