Adding oil to your coffee?

Can you imagine it?

Yes, it’s the latest thing and is said to have many health benefits.

The Art of Making Oil-Infused Coffee

You use either coconut or olive oil, and you start by making 8 oz (226.80 g) of black coffee as you normally would. Then you add 1 tablespoon (14.79 ml) of olive oil, preferably extra virgin. Then blend the mixture in a blender for 30 seconds – and that’s it.

The Unique Taste Profile of Oil-Infused Coffee

It tastes like regular coffee with a nutty flavour and delicate sweetness, but you can add a little honey if you want it to be a bit sweeter.

Health benefits of adding coconut oil

Coconut oil has become increasingly popular among people following the high-fat, very-low-carb ketogenic diet because it can help with weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and reduced heart disease risk factors.

However, it is also high in calories, providing 121 calories per tablespoon, so equally, it may contribute to weight gain.

Some experts claim that the olive oil present in the coffee can coat the lining of your stomach and slow down the absorption of caffeine while also neutralising the acidity of the coffee.

Health benefits of adding olive oil

Olive oil is considered to be a healthy fat. It’s good for your heart and can regulate your blood pressure. So it can offer:

• Sustained and long-lasting energy
• Fats neutralise the acidity in coffee
• Cuts down the consumption of coffee
