I tried it for a few days. Using the recommended grass fed type butter.
It tastes good... very creamy.
BUT....it was a big pain in the butt to have to whip it up every morning. Using a blender at 6 am is not a good idea for me.
I went back to my heavy cream.
Butter tea is the worst thing that I ever tasted.
Sounds worth trying
Oh, forgot to add....it does a very good job curbing the appetite. I wasn’t hungry until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon.
So if your trying to lose a few pounds by curbing your appetite, this works.
Comes from the ideas of chai or tea with yak butter
Indian or Oriental crap
Tks anyhow
I have a Nespresso machine.....that’s how I drink coffee
Black or Au Lait
Like my women (I always say that)
Speaking of which....there is a Louisiana creole after dinner drink called CafeBrulot which uses orange peels...cloves....sugar...coffee....brandy or cointreau.....and on occasion butter in some recipes
Very fancy....hard to make Commanders Palace does
I drank Yak butter tea in Tibet. It did seem to help with the high-altitude hiking. The taste was bareable, in the context of the trip.
Back home I drink coffee. Black. Strong. Occasionally as a desert I’ll have an espresso with sugar. I like the coffee-flavored sugar granules at the bottom of the cup.
I don’t think I’ll ever try butter in coffee.
Coffee is served very strong, black and unadulterated with any kind of sweetener or flavoring. That’s coffee. Other preparations might be enjoyed by some but they’re not coffee.
Go straight or go home.
Clarified butter, “ghee”, is very different in texture, consistency and taste from whole butter. Heat up butter to the melting point, just before boiling, pour off the lighter, clear liquid which will be about half. That’s “ghee”.
Whole butter in coffee would be gross!
Love bulletproof coffee! I use about a tablespoon of coconut oil and a teaspoon of butter. A few seconds on the Vitamix and it’s frothy and creamy.
I prefer cocoanut oil; about half a tsp. in black coffee for the first cup of the day only.
The secret to great coffee has always been an egg broken into the pot.
Now that's funny!
If you want to follow a Paleolithic diet, dairy wouldn't be on the list. No domesticated animals in the Old Stone Age.
Tried it... Smmmooooothh. But always having to wash the blender?, I am not sure about it. It is interesting it gets a bit of a froth almost like a cappuccino and changes it color a bit...
We don’t do it only because we lack access to a yak.
Yak butter tea. MMMMMM!
3 fingers of tap water in a plastic tea glass, 60 seconds in the microwave, 2 heaping teaspoons of Taster’s Choice, a quick stir...that’s my “coffee” for the day.
The little detail this article forgot to mention is that in Tibet it is freezing cold!
Butter and salt in tea or coffee supplies crucial fat and water-retention support for cold weather. In such conditions, it quickly becomes delicious.
Drink it in warm weather though, and it tastes vile and overheats you like crazy.
I was grateful to the sherpa guides and their noble porters who poured cup after cup of the oily, dark brew into me. It was the most effective way to get as many calories as possible into one each morning before another 8-mile walk along narrow paths and up steep inclines, across rope bridges and recent landslides before, past ancient villages and monumental stupas, arriving with barely enough "gas in the tank" at a wayside tea house for a lunch of watercress sandwiches and cream cakes.
"Tea, sahib? Tea?"
Indeed, I would. Jolly good!
Its not new. I heard of it years ago.
I saw a Youtube video the other day where the guy puts butter in the Le Presse’ coffee pot then after its brewed he puts the whole thing in the blender and hits it for about 3 seconds. Its supposed to froth it up.
