The Hottest Drink of the Summer Is: Onion Coffee?
Just when you thought you were DESENSITIZED to absurd TikTok food trends . . . THIS will definitely leave a taste in your mouth.
There's a trend on TikTok where people are putting spring onions (or green onions) in their COFFEE. Supposedly, it started in China.
The most common preparation is a latte: You put cut spring onions into a glass, and muddle them. Add ice . . . milk . . . and a couple shots of espresso. And then you garnish it with even more spring onions.
Almost EVERYONE says this is an acquired taste, whether they're repulsed or not. Some people say they don't even get it, because the onion doesn't absorb into the latte . . . at some point you just end up with a mouthful of onions.
One person joked, "As if coffee breath wasn't bad enough . . ."
(Here's a video of a reviewer who does NOT get the hype. Here's someone who calls it "horrific" . . . and here are people who like it. I have to ask: Why do you have to add SO MUCH onion? I've never put this much spring onion on anything.)
