Coffee caviar: The latest foodie trend taking over Instragram
Is nothing sacred?
First came the avacado latté, then people began to drink their coffee from hollowed out carrots and now this – Coffee caviar.
It's the latest in a long line of bizarre food trends to take over our Instagram feeds, and we're not convinced.
The little blobs of coffee resemble groups of pre-mature tadpoles waiting to hatch, and we're just not sure we can look past that.
Once a restaurant delicacy, the foodies of Instragram have now taken it upon themselves to bring coffee caviar to the masses and have been adding it to homemade pudding and tiramius.
According to coffee manufacturers, Lavazza, this is how they're made:
‘Using a syringe, small drops of the coffee and alginate mixture is added to the diluted calcium chloride.
‘The result is lots of little balls which create a myriad of tiny explosions on the palate.’
Hmm?
Think we'll stick to our flat whites for the moment, thanks.
