The culinary world is no stranger to unconventional pairings that push the boundaries of traditional flavors, and the latest trend to take over TikTok is no exception. Known as the \u2018scallion latte,\u2019 the recipe is stirring up both curiosity and controversy among coffee lovers on the app, as it includes an unexpected vegetable ingredient. What is the \u2018scallion latte\u2019 trend on TikTok? The scallion latte trend sees people adding fresh spring onions on top of their coffee to provide a crunchy texture to the drink. This textural addition contrasts with the smoothness of the latte, creating a multisensory drinking experience. Moreover, the sharpness and slight sweetness of the onions are said to balance the bitterness of the coffee, offering a unique flavor profile that challenges conventional coffee norms. This trend is believed to have first emerged in China. From there, the scallion latte caught the attention of TikTok users globally, prompting many to experiment with this unusual ingredient in their morning coffee. In a viral video from Golden Brown Coffee (goldenbrown.coffee), a roaster based in Australia, he showed a step-by-step tutorial on how to prepare a scallion latte. \u201cThis is a viral drink that came straight out of China. So, of course, yours truly has to taste it,\u201d the TikToker said. \u201cStart by chipping just the green parts of fresh spring onion. Then just make an iced latte how you would with ice, milk and of course, some espresso. Then we have to heavily garnish our drink with spring onion.\u201d After sampling the drink, the roaster shared his candid reaction: \u201cI can\u2019t even fake any redeeming qualities. That is horrific. Coffee down!\u201d TikTok users also took to the comments to share their thoughts on the quirky coffee trend. \u201cWell I love green onions but this is too much,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cWhat I\u2019d do to show my love to green onions,\u201d another quipped. \u201cI thought that this was a gag!\u201d a third commented, to which the content creator replied: \u201cI gagged.\u201d This is just the latest food trend to take off on TikTok, after the cottage cheese baking hack went viral in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
