If you love flavored java but are looking to branch out a bit, this buttered coconut coffee recipe is a delicious and unconventional option. From food blog The Year in Food, the Creamy Coconut Butter Coffee was inspired by the blogger's trip to Dharamsala, India at the foothills of the Himalayas. There, yak butter tea is traditional and serves as the basis for the increasingly popular bulletproof coffee.
Described as a "creamy, fragrant latte, laced with the faintest coconut flavor and a hint of cinnamon or cardamom," the coconut coffee recipe is easy enough to replicate and establish as a part of your own morning routine. You'll need hot brewed coffee, coconut butter, milk (almond, coconut or oat all work well), spices, a blender and a wide-mouthed mason jar.
