Japanese turn garlic into ... coffee

You crave the coffee but the house is empty. Get some garlic cloves, boil water and apply the magic formula of the Japanese.

Yokitomo Shimotai, a 74-year-old owner of a coffee shop in Aomori prefecture, has become the focus of the press when it launches a coffee that does not contain any coffee at all.

The drink only consists of roasted garlic mixed with flour mixed with water gave the taste is not another good coffee, in the surprise of many.

Shimotai has quietly patented his product two years ago, hoping to create a coffee that is suitable for people who are too sensitive to caffeine but prefer coffee flavors or women who wear them. Pregnant women have to break up with their favorite drink. It is also a drink you can use without fear of insomnia if you suddenly find coffee in the evening.

The origin of this invention is quite interesting. Thirty years ago, while waiting in his shop, Shimotai made a steak. Some of the garlic burns him using a small spoon and mixes it in hot water, for some reason is not explained. He was quite surprised to see that he was drinking coffee. Garlic juice actually produces the taste and bitterness of coffee, just as it is slightly tart garlic.

The formula of garlic coffee was studied and improved in later years. Not only gives you a good cup of coffee, Shimotai also pledges that garlic coffee will not leave the smell of garlic in your mouth because the baking process has deodorized very well.
