Butter in Coffee? Here’s The Right Way To Do It + A Simple Butter Coffee Recipe

面对现实吧：thick buttery coffee sounds disgusting.为什么有人想尝试？这个想法调用了一堆融化的黄油，只是漂浮在您的咖啡顶部。

幸运的是我爱的咖啡和贪得无厌的古玩sity led me to finding a recipe and pulling out my blender for a test drive of this odd combination. Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it brought me to a whole new appreciation of butter and a delicious way to create a satisfying, healthy treat without having to put on pants to leave the house.

Here’s everything you need to know about butter coffee + a few very handy tips to brew it better…

什么是黄油咖啡？

First, to clear up some misconceptions: butter coffee is NOT the same things as bulletproof coffee, or椰子油咖啡。

But it IS loaded with flavour, it’s filling and satisfying, and, when made properly, has a delicate and delightful foam at the top (achieved without using a foaming wand).

Butter infused coffee is perfect for the beginner home barista as well as the experienced since it does not require the use of an espresso machine. Instead, this drink can be made with a simple coffee maker (I use aFrench Press或一个空运)和搅拌机(these ones will do the job).

标准黄油和咖啡混合物的成分很简单：咖啡，椰子油以及酥油或草喂黄油（或者，更简单的版本，只需获得咖啡和骗子咖啡加油，并带有预选成分的食材）。

You can save money by purchasing all these items online, as I have personally typically found the local health food stores to be more expensive. Plus, there’s the whole not-having-to-wear-pants part of online shopping that is always appealing.

Butter Coffee vs Bulletproof Coffee

Is butter coffee the same as bulletproof coffee? Almost, but not quite… Bulletproof coffee is actually a brand, developed by an entrepreneur named Dave Aspey.

His special coffee uses a specific type of coffee beans, holds to a strict code of using only unsalted, grass-fed butter, and includes a liquid called MCT oil, which is similar to coconut oil but contains more Medium Chain Triglycerides (basically, more fat). Read more about bulletproof coffee这里。

Today’s topic of conversation – buttered coffee – simply refers to your DIY version of bulletproof coffee. Any coffee beans brewed with good butter and coconut oil.

您应该考虑与咖啡和椰子油尝试黄油的5个原因

Now that I’m a believer in this creation and drink it daily, here are 5 reasons why you should join the awesomeness that is the tribe of butter coffee addicts:

1.比商店购买的咖啡便宜

The average cost of a store-bought latte is around $4.16. This figure, of course, only accounts for the monetary amount you pay the store directly. Hidden costs include gas money to get there and time taken to drive, wait, and drive to your next destination.

But what if you could save money by making a delicious, creamy, satisfying beverage at home using high quality ingredients without the hidden costs? Would that be worth it to you?

The fact is:许多咖啡馆不提供黄油咖啡，so if you want to drink it you have to brew it yourself!

购买的咖啡与自制咖啡可能意味着您每年花10,000美元（1) on coffee, while a homemade special could cost less than $800 per year. Plus, if you use your own mug, you are greatly reducing your carbon footprint, rather than throwing away an empty paper cup and plastic lid every day.

您还需要咖啡研磨机（如果您像真正的咖啡势力一样全部购买豆子），一个可以管理热液体的搅拌机。如果您还没有它们，那可能是一项投资，但是您正在这里建造家庭咖啡吧。

不要忘记，最终结果仍然是您每年节省约10,000美元，这些小型电器将持续很长时间。

I have had my French press for five years, and it completely paid for itself in money saved from the coffee shops in less than a month. It’s almost like the price of my daily coffee keeps getting cheaper the more I make it from home.

2. Healthy Fats = Healthy Skin

Remember the low-fat fad diet? Well, forget everything you thought you knew about low fat being healthy. It turns out that low fat diets are actually harmful (2) for your overall health. This result can be due to increased additives like carbs (aka chemically-created sugars) to make the food still taste palatable without any of that satisfying fat. A diet low in fat can lead to health conditions (3) like fat-soluble vitamin deficiency, hormone imbalances, and prematurely ageing skin.

Enter: the黄油咖啡饮食(yes, it.s a thing).

Each cell in our body is coated in a protective covering of two fat layers. A low-fat (or unhealthy fat) diet leads to the body creating cellular walls that are less-than-ideal.

这可能会导致各种健康问题，但是外部皮肤会比以前几年的年轻光芒和可塑性更少。富含健康脂肪的饮食可提供抗炎营养，从内而外滋养皮肤，并充当健康激素的基础（您是否知道您的激素实际上是脂肪分子的形式？好脂肪）。

许多注重健康的人使用椰子油进行抗菌和抗真菌（4) benefits of the lauric and capric acid content. Coconut oil is extremely popular for other uses too, including skin care, hair care, and even this odd-but-effective practice known as “oil-pulling.”

如果您可以很好地处理乳制品，则可以坚持使用黄油而不是酥油。Kerrygold是黄油的标准。它的天然甜味只会在热咖啡中闪耀，给人的印象是您在饮料中添加了某种甜味剂。是黄油，朋友。宝拉·迪恩（Paula Deen）绝对就在这里。因为黄油。

诸如椰子油，酥油和橄榄油等纯脂肪也有益于保护脑神经元，甚至可能有助于保护大脑免受痴呆症（5). One article terms Alzheimer’s disease “type 3 diabetes, (6)” since fats and blood sugars can heavily influence overall brain function. All these cognitive benefits from just a cup of coffee? Why aren’t coffee shops latching on to this and introducing more people to these healthy coffees?

3. It Will Curb Hunger Cravings (a way to make fasting easier)

您是否曾经经历过“下午2点崩溃？”这种令人不愉快的经历通常是通过浸泡血糖（从含糖早餐中或两餐之间等待太久的）带给您的。

These cravings are accompanied by brain fog, crankiness, and a sudden craving for a large flavoured coffee (and maybe a doughnut) in an effort to spike up your energy levels to help you get through the last few hours of your work day.

Did you know that this can be avoided by drinking something other than plain water and snacking on carrots and sadness?

Studies show that a diet rich in carbohydrates (read: foods that quickly convert to sugar) can increase your risk of cardiac disease and increase your body’s insulin resistance (meaning, a higher risk for diabetes as well). The sugar content in a standard flavoured latte can be unbelievably high (7), as in over 10 teaspoons of pure sugar per regular-sized drink (and let’s not even talk about the larger sizes).

The high fats and low sugars of butter coffee help the body maintain stable blood sugar levels, which decrease cravings for sugary foods. As explained in the video above, the fats also allow for a slower, more controlled release of caffeine that will keep you going longer. No more need for the afternoon cheat. Another benefit: even more money saved!

4.它将改善您的新陈代谢功能

The coconut oil in butter coffee is part of an elite group of fatty acid chains calledMedium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)。研究表明，与大豆油这样的长链甘油三酸酯不同，MCT是metabolised faster.

一项研究（8) performed on the difference between MCTs and LCTs in surgical patients found that MCTs even showed a better insulin response from the body than those who were given LCTs.

这意味着身体能够absorb more glucose in the blood stream and put it to good use, instead of leaving it sitting in the bloodstream to cause health problems.

By contrast, a traditional coffee shop drink like the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte will not deliver any of these benefits. Instead, you will be served artificial food colouring, preservatives, artificial flavours, and over 50 grams of sugar!

I’ll take a real coffee with real ingredients and real health benefits, please and thank you.

5. The Taste Will Grow On You (And Help You Quit Sugar!)

这种黄油，含咖啡因的饮料是光滑，奶油，丰富且令人满意的。它没有糖，但不需要任何糖（我做咖啡strong).

以这种方式制作这种咖啡的另一个好处是，没有任何成分沉入底部。当您靠近杯子的底部时，没有尴尬的口味。混合的混合完美地将脂肪变成一种连续的喜悦，因此每口饮料都和第一个饮料一样美味。

它的味道比听起来更好，只是相信我。

黄油咖啡食谱

There are many videos and recipes showing you how to make butter coffee.

这个食谱是我们简单地搭配奶油，健康有效的黄油咖啡，搭配椰子油食谱 - 请保持简单，并在需要时添加。

为了用最基本的话说，您将咖啡，一杯黄油和一勺椰子油倒入搅拌机中，然后搅拌30秒钟左右。（您可以在最佳搅拌机上找到我们的评论这里).

Once you master the basic recipe (which doesn’t take long, let’s be honest), there is no end to your culinary concoctions.

For a mocha, you can add cocoa or cacao powder, as demonstrated in the video. In the winter time, add a splash of peppermint extract in too for a homemade peppermint mocha.

For a classic vanilla latte, add a splash of vanilla (about a quarter-to-half teaspoon, depending on your personal taste).

Branch out and try whatever your heart desires. It’s a healthy coffee, you don’t have to feel guilty for enjoying it!

Here is a video explaining how to make it:

3 Common Mistakes When Brewing Butter Coffee

For as simple as this recipe is, there are a few things you will want to avoid when making your coffee:

1. Using Low-Quality Butter

I cannot stress enough the importance of quality butter. Yes, you can use Land O’Lakes, but it won’t have the same richness as a quality grass-fed butter like Kerrygold.

I repeat: use something like Kerrygold – Kerrygold butter coffee IS a thing!

2. Shaking Rather Than Blending

混合30秒至关重要，因为它用水基咖啡乳脂乳化。这种混合过程可防止脂肪在杯子顶部分离，这将是粗略的。这不是您可以在振动杯中制作的食谱。

3. Adding Too Much Coconut Oil

Start small and add more fats as you get used to it. Some people find that too much fat in their coffee can lead to an upset stomach if your body is not accustomed to ingesting much coconut oil. You can start off with a tablespoon or two and adjust from there.

Final Thoughts

您是否希望您的咖啡可以健康？在您的余生更加健康的时候，您是否曾经为在含糖咖啡店咖啡上挥霍含糖吗？健康的咖啡不仅是您梦dream以求的事情，而且实际上可以实现，容易和美味。
