A recipe created by Dave Asprey in 2009 after his travels to Tibet, where he was introduced to yak-butter tea. This drink has revolutionised the way I, and many other people, consume coffee on a daily basis. Instead of a typical short-lived coffee rush, blending your high-end coffee with the healthy oils allows the caffeine to attach to the fats preventing it’s usual quick absorption into and through your body. In response, this gives you a sustained and prolonged energy rush whilst lubricating your brain with essential healthy fats that, mixed with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, really does make you feel you are Neo and you just tapped into the matrix!
1. Grind your coffee beans.
2. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the ground coffee beans for every 240 ml of water (I recommend brewing your coffee using the French Press).
3. Add hot water (just off the boil) to your French Press, stir the brew and let steep for about 4 minutes.
4. To your blender (make sure it is capable of blending hot ingredients), add the butter/ghee and the Brain Octane oil.
5. When you’re coffee is set, add it to the blender.
6. Blend for about 20-30 seconds until the consistency is creamy and frothy.
