Ghee in Coffee

Do any of y'all put Ghee in your coffee? If so, do you like it? If so, do you still use Half-n-Half?

Hi, @SurferWife. One of my sons was into 'Bulletproof' coffee maybe 5 or 6 years ago.

The maker of the coffee was inspired by Tibetan butter tea.

No cream is needed. Some people use a blender, and some folks buy a little foaming gadget.

Look up 'Bulletproof Coffee' and read all about it!

Ghee is clarified butter...I can't imagine using "grease" in my coffee. I am curious to know how that would taste...

Yes, I am aware it is clarified butter. It has a good taste and seems to be a popular addition to coffee, which is why I am asking others who add it to coffee what they think. I'm going to try it tomorrow morning.

Will do! I will still add my collagen powder. I normally also use 2 tsps sugar & half-n-half. I think I'll take a sip or two before adding the sugar & half-n-half to see what it tastes like. One thing's for sure, if I don't like the taste then I won't drink it anymore.

My husband does the cooking and he uses Ghee for almost everything that requires butter (we still use butter, too). He is suggesting I try it so I'll try it at least once.

Please stay tuned...

@SurferWife - I don't use ghee very much, never in my coffee. I'll drink a perfect mug of bulletproof. It used to be an occasional treat. Now it's more often, several times a week, but limited to only one on the days I have it. For me, it's a pleasurable experience, early in the AM. After that, it's sweetener and sometimes a small amount of heavy cream.

@JeanLouiseFinch I drank bullet proof coffee with the addition of collagen peptides every morning for a long time. I guess I ran out of the peptides one day and just never bought more. I use Kerrygold butter. Thanks for the reminder!

Are you only adding butter now, @We rescue cats, or anything else?

Re: Ghee in Coffee

Butter, MCT oil, strong brewed coffee and sometimes a touch of sweetner and/or cinnamon. Depends on my mood.

No. I put butter on my popcorn and some of my veggies, but that's it. Lately, I started putting about a half a cup of milk in my coffee. I've been drinking it black for about 15 years to reduce calories. But my brother, who is a bone specialist, told me to increase my milk intake, so I figured this is one easy way to do it. Not sure what ghee would would do for me.

@SurferWife I've used ghee but I haven't bought any in ages. It really didn't impress me.

On the rare occasion I have a second cup of coffee, I add unsalted butter and use my immersion blender to mix it. I haven't used half & half for many years & I don't add any other fats.

I usually use a nootropic creamer in my first cup of coffee.

I tried my coffee this morning with a tablespoon of Ghee! I still added my collagen powder, 2 tsps sugar in the raw and half-n-half. It tasted good! Ghee has a natural nutty flavor so it did taste like a nutty flavored coffee. Obviously after only one cup (one cup for me is my 16 oz thermal cup), I don't know if I noticed a difference in the way I feel, but I'll keep it up since I like the taste. I also like adding a cinnamon stick to my coffee so I may try that tomorrow.

is this supposed to have some type of health benefit?

Don't think I would try it, way too much fat and colories for me.

@sunshine45 - ghee is nothing more than clarified butter. Adding good fats (MCT oil, ghee, quality butter, heavy whipping cream) will keep one satitiated, but more importantly the fats feed the brain.

yes, i knew it was clarified butter because i sometimes cook with it. around our area it is also popular to dip steamed lobster, steamed clams, blue crabmeat into clarified butter. i just dont see why it needs to go into coffee? cant you just slather a bit on toast?

Not if you aren't eating toast or other bread products. And some people are fasting in the morning. Small amounts of good fats won't break a fast.

Butter in coffee? For me, I'd have to file that under "How Bad Can This Be?" lol 😃 I'm guessing ghee would add a nice richness and flavor.
