For the first time in my life and probably the last, i fell prey to the pop-culture and ordered something off the menu ONLY for its Instagrammability.
The Pink Latte, @_littlefrenchhouse_
In my defence, i did not equip myself with enough information about this fad. When the staff proactively forewarned me of it containing beetroot, my brain ill-processed it and assumed that the milk used for making the latte will be stained using beetroot extract/powder to make it gloriously pink.
When the latte arrived and i took the first sip, i went "Umm. The milk has prominent trace of beetroot, nice!" Upon second sip, i realised it had no coffee. I was told later that Pink Latte has no coffee. It is simply a pink variant of 'Turmeric Latte' just with Beet. And i was disappointed.
If only it truly had a shot of espresso topped with beetroot stained milk, i could have had the best of both worlds.
To the other ignorants like myself, Pink Latte is a two season old food trend. A drink which is vegan friendly (if used with dairy alternates), paleo friendly, caffeine-free (hence, mis-christened!). Inclusion of Beet as the main ingredient makes it a super-food-power drink, mainly for people who are not from Indian origin (Because aapde toh rasta par malti Sev-Puri & Pauva upar pan grated Beet nakhiye chiye 🦸♀) #ipaidforit #foodaholicsinahmedabad #foodaholics #ahmedabad #livetoeat #foodhunt #foodfind #foodblog #foodwriters #food #foodlove #foodgasm #foodporn #foodstagram #instafood #foodnetwork #foodfeed #foodtalk #foodtalkindia #placestoeatinahmedabad #foodinahmedabad #thingstodoinahmedabad #pinklatte
