Bulletproof Coffee is a fantastic way to start your morning with sustained energy and healthy fats. It pairs wonderfully with traditional Irish breakfast dishes or alongside a freshly baked treat like Irish Soda Scones or a slice of Homemade Irish Soda Bread with Raisins.
How to Store Bulletproof Coffee
Bulletproof Coffee is best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavour and texture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently and stir well before drinking, though the frothy texture may be reduced.
Can You Freeze Bulletproof Coffee?
Freezing Bulletproof Coffee is not recommended as the texture and flavour can be compromised upon thawing. It’s best to prepare fresh each time for the best experience.
Why Is My Bulletproof Coffee Not Frothy?
If your Bulletproof Coffee lacks froth, it may be due to insufficient blending time or blending at too low a speed. Ensure you blend on high speed for at least 20-30 seconds to fully emulsify the butter and oil with the coffee, creating that desirable creamy froth.
