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?
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.

Serve the coffee in insulated cups (wash in hot water prior serving) to keep it hot.
