Iced coffee
Also called: iced coffee, cold brew, iced latte
How Iced coffee affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Cold, caffeinated and usually sugary — the caffeine and cold unsettle Vata, the coffee heats Pitta, and the sugar/milk add to Kapha.
Cautions
