Runningforme82 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok, I've read many recipes that call for one or the other. Are they the same thing? Ghee I can buy in the asian aisle of my local stores, Clarified Butter I can not buy locally (and from what I'm reading, pretty much have to make your own). People use Clarified Butter in coffee....can you use Ghee? Thanks for helping clear this up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 They are similar. Ghee is usually cooked longer so browned and nutty smelling and tasting. Usually in the Ethnic aisle. Not Asian. Hmm...in coffee? Never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjelevil Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Clarified butter is made by melting butter and removing the milk solids,it is often used in French cooking and is the base for hollandaise.Melt butter at low heat,the stuff that drops to the bottom is the milk and is easy to remove. Ghee is generally used in South Asian cooking and also involves removing the milk solids,they just cook there's out a bit longer. I always make my own.It does not require cold storage and will keep forever in an air tight container The coffee idea sounds like bulletproof coffee http://www.bulletproofexec.com/how-to-make-your-coffee-bulletproof-and-your-morning-too/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura B Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A lot of folks around here put clarified butter or ghee in their coffee. I stick to coconut milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberrantatavia Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I put a bit of ghee in my coffee this morning, not a fan. I'll just stick to coconut milk too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura B Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think you're supposed to blend them together, just seems strange and like more work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberrantatavia Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I dumped a little of both in my coffee, just to see. Not my thing. I can handle the coconut milk, but I will probably go to part coconut and part raw cream after my whole 30. If I can't tolerate dairy after this, I might just give up coffee (DID I JUST REALLY SAY THAT????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
