"Coffee doesn't need to be brewed, success will come eventually!"

Recently in the TV drama "The Knockout," the scene where Gao Qiqiang eats Nestlé black coffee powder dry shocked quite a few people.

In the drama, Gao Qiqiang has been chewing black coffee powder dry for 6 years whenever encountering major events, using the bitterness to stimulate himself to stay alert. Similar to how alcohol gives courage, he creates a certain ritual through coffee, giving himself an "opportunity" to get things done.

Because of this, after watching the show, many friends became eager to follow the "big boss" by pulling out instant coffee powder from home!

But without fail, the moment everyone swallowed the coffee powder, they were all choked by it! The scene was somewhat embarrassing (don't ask me how I know! If you ask, it's because I tried it...)

At that moment after swallowing the coffee powder, this thought came to mind: Ah... so this is why I can't be a big boss 🤔. In real life, almost anyone who can eat coffee powder dry without choking is truly a tough character!

For example, the Italian Mafia! People who join this mysterious organization are particularly fond of a dessert called Lemon Slices (Mafia).

It involves directly sprinkling white sugar on thinly sliced lemon pieces and grilling them to form caramel, then sprinkling coarsely ground dark roast coffee powder/placing whole coffee beans directly, followed by taking it all in one bite!

The reason for this preparation method is to hope that every member, before/after doing important things, can experience the fusion of "sweet, sour, fragrant, bitter" in one bite, which not only instantly awakens the senses but also reminds everyone not to let their guard down.

Eating coffee powder this way will surely make you become a big boss!

Preparation Method

The preparation method is also very simple:

1 lemon
White sugar/coffee brown sugar (as needed)
Dark roast coffee beans/dark roast ground coffee (as needed)

1. Cut the lemon into thin slices with the skin on.
2. Sprinkle sugar granules on the lemon slices and lightly grill until slightly caramelized (grilling is optional).
3. Then grind the coffee beans into coarse particles.
4. Sprinkle the coffee particles on the lemon sugar slices and enjoy!

Don't think it's too extreme! This way of eating is truly addictive and will make you want to try it again and again!

The bitterness of the coffee is neutralized by the acidity of the lemon, creating layers of flavor that burst in your mouth. Combined with the chewiness of the lemon peel and the sweet aftertaste from the astringency, it's absolutely amazing!!!

So, today! Have you become Gao Qiqiang yet?!
