Boost your libido with a beetroot latte…
Struggling to get your engine revved? Well we have a solution just for you, the Beetroot latte is the latest coffee craze, but instead of boosting your day-to-day energy levels; this can actually boost those bedroom energy levels too.
Australian baristas are constantly trying to out-do each other with wacky, out-there hot drink styles for years, and of course they tend to have already fizzled out in Oz before they reach our fair shores.
Containing no espresso though, we’re not sure is this is our ‘cup of coffee’…
The bright pink drink is certainly eye-catching, definitely one for the Instagram crowd, as for the ingredients list; it’s reasonably simple to make.
Made using dehydrated beetroot powder, lengthened in water, it’s treated like a shot of espresso, and then mixed with steamed milk.
A Manchester coffee shop – Ancoats General Store – is now serving up beetroot lattes, with barista Ollie Devoti tweaking the original recipe slightly.
Ollie told the Manchester Evening News: “The inspiration behind it was to give someone a bit of a boost but without having caffeine.
“It’s got so much going on – it contains nitrates which oxygenate your blood as you digest it,” he explained to the newspaper.
“It increases brain function, it increases circulation, it increases libido, contains B vitamins and antioxidants. And for me personally, it’s one of my favourite drinks.”
We’re not so sure that beetroot makes for a perfect pick me up when you’re tired or after a hard session at the gym, but whatever floats your boat!
And as for the libido boosting effects…we definitely can’t comment having not had tried this colourful concoction just yet…we’ll leave that to the experts to prove or disprove.
Let’s not forget about the taste…we’d imagine it tastes just like beetroot. So if you don’t happen to like the vegetable, this might be one to miss out on!
