On 21st February 2023, Starbucks introduced Starbucks Oleato, a coffee infused with Partanna\u00ae extra virgin olive oil which offers customers a velvety smooth, deliciously lush new coffee experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interestingly, when I was very young around 1980s (not trying to reveal my age hahaha), I recalled my grandfather would usually order a cup of Butter Coffee from our local coffeeshop in Singapore. The aromatic smell of the melting butter in a hot black coffee is wonderful. Unfortunately, the taste of butter in coffee requires an acquired taste. Nonetheless, I believe that Butter Coffee has been around in centuries. Such drinking trends come back on and off and it came back in Singapore a few years ago and may have died off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been rumored that there are health benefits as well as side effects, e.g. laxative. When trying out this drink for such benefits, please “drink” with “a pinch of salt”. However, personally, when I drank it, I remember that I did have some form of stomach upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s how to make butter coffee:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brew about 1 cup (8\u201312 ounces or 237\u2013355 ml) of black coffee.
Add 1\u20132 tablespoons of unsalted butter*, or choose ghee, a type of clarified butter lower in lactose, if you don\u2019t eat regular butter.
You can mix all ingredients in a blender for 20\u201330 seconds until it resembles a foamy latte or just like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
