Jaiswal says, “A cup of coffee serves as a morning fix for many people. And just like any other beverage, people like to experiment with their cup of coffee as well. Many people are falling in love with bullet coffee or ghee coffee. This trend has caught the attention of a lot of diet conscious folks, and it is gaining popularity for the health benefits it has.”
