令人困惑的谷物拿铁

Gone are the array of the limited version of pumpkin spice lattes and candy cane flavored Christmas drinks that filled the Starbucks menu. Its a new year and， the popular coffee chain launched a brand new drink for all their customers to enjoy.

限量版南瓜味拿铁和拐杖糖果味的圣诞特饮已在星巴克的菜单上下架。新的一年，这家广受欢迎的咖啡品牌推出了一款全新口味的饮品，以供客户品尝。

However， their new hot beverage has left coffee lovers feeling rather bemused with many unsure just what they should make of the drink， which is intended to taste like cereal.

然而，这款新口味的热饮却让咖啡迷感到十分困惑，它喝起来太像谷物，以至于他们根本无法确定这款饮料的成分。

So what is the quirky new drink， you ask？ Its called a cereal latte and its made from a powder comprised of oat， barley and wheat—which are the three main ingredients in a bowl of Cheerios.

你会问，这款古怪的饮品到底是什么呢？它被称为谷物拿铁，是由燕麦、大麦和小麦的粉末制成的，而这三种粉末也是Cheerios（早餐谷物圈品牌）的主要成分。

To create the drink， Starbucks blend together a shot of espresso with the cereal powder， and then pour over some vegan oat milk before topping the whole thing with crispy pieces. The company explained that oat milk is used as the default option for the drink as it “brings out the best flavour”.

星巴克在制作這款饮品时，将一小杯的浓缩咖啡和谷物粉混合，然后倒上素食燕麦牛奶，最后再撒上一些酥脆碎片。公司解释，该饮品默认使用素食燕麦牛奶，因为它“会使这款饮品展现最佳口感”。

So far the drink hasnt been received very well on social media—with some advising not buying it and others just left feeling baffled.

目前该款饮品在社交媒体上的口碑并不太好——部分用户建议不要购买这款饮品，也有部分用户表示自己对该饮品感到困惑。

One person took to social media platform to serve a public service announcement about the product. She wrote， “PSA—do not under any circumstances try the new cereal latte at Starbucks.” Another commented， “Starbucks now do a cereal latte and I have no idea how I feel about it.” A third added， “Starbucks what the hell is a cereal latte？”

一位用户在社交媒体平台发布了关于这款产品的无偿评论。她写到：“这是一条无偿公共信息，在任何情况下都不要去星巴克尝试这款新的谷物拿铁。”另一位用户评论道：“对于星巴克现在推出的这款谷物拿铁饮品，我自己都不知道对它是什么感觉。”还有一位用户这样说：“星巴克，这款谷物拿铁饮品到底是什么呀？”
