The staff takes a frozen cup from a -86 degree Celsius freezer, pours milk into the frosty cup and then tops it up with rich, aromatic coffee. Since the cup consists of frost, it doesn’t need extra ice.“Because melting ice dilutes the flavour, the owner recommended drinking it in big gulps without stirring, immediately after it’s made. This way, the hot espresso and super-cold milk create a contrasting taste – kind of like ice cream on a warm apple pie,” revealed the vlogger.The name of the café was Luna Café at 24 Fanghua Street, Chengdu, China. The video about their unique coffee service has received 120K likes and numerous comments from curious netizens.
