I saw a food blogger posted her coffee butter in Instagram. I find it interesting as well as curious to know the taste. Well, I have always been keen to tryout food that caught my eyes, looks inviting and being adventurous in exploring food. I decided to try and make it.

Google: “Mentega is the Malay word for butter. It refers to the fatty substance made from cream, used as a spread on bread and as a cooking fat. Dishes like Ayam Goreng Mentega (butter-fried chicken) and Udang Saus Mentega (butter-sauce prawns) feature the term.”

As usual, I love to recreate it to suit my taste bud. In her recipe, she had used a strong brewing coffee: using hot water to brew her coffee and using coffee strainer, condensed milk and add a piece of butter. I don’t have a strong brewing coffee, a strainer, I don’t take condensed milk, and I use proactiv margarine spread instead of a piece of butter.

Well, it’s her idea, I borrowed, something new: use Italian Seasoning and garlic bread to go with to try with my own recreation, something old: my mug, and something yellow like a sun, however it’s not shining in the sky, but in my beautiful colourful mug with a lid that I had use it as a plate mat for my mug.

I am glad that I tried using my own ingredients. Try this butter coffee for a change. Let be courageous and try for yourself!!!!
