Can I put raw heavy cream and raw whole milk into my morning coffee?
In a short answer, you can absolutely add raw dairy products into hot tea or coffee because it doesn’t warm it at a high enough heat or for a long enough time to conduct any damage to the raw dairy product elements. Pasteurization is a process that heats milk to a certain temperature for a certain amount of time to kill off bacteria. Most milk you find on the grocery store shelves has been highly pasteurized. Unlike Raw Whole Milk, which is alive with all of its beneficial bacteria and has never been heated or processed, pasteurized milk lacks the beneficial bacteria that are necessary for digestion. The most common form of pasteurization is High Temperature, Short Time (HTST) . It requires you to keep milk at 72oC (161oF) for just 15 seconds. (Source)
Interestingly, the average latte at your local coffee shop is only heated to 140°F. Although hot coffee is brewed 155°F and 175°F, it cools down quickly enough to NOT make any damage to the raw dairy. Adding the cold raw dairy helps to bring down the overall temperature of the beverage, too.(Source)
All and all, you definitely can add raw dairy products into your morning cup of joe and still receive all of the beneficial elements of delicious RAW FARM raw dairy products.
