Recently, a netizen posted on social media that a milk tea shop in Qingdao, Shandong province has launched a clam milk tea, attracting a large number of netizens to watch.

In the pictures posted online, this unique cup of clam milk tea does not look as light brown as people think, but looks like a cup of clear-colored lemonade, with several clams and lemon slices sinking at the bottom of the cup.

At the sight of this cup of creative drink with visual impact, the feedback from the onlookers varied. After seeing it, the curiosity hunters lit up in front of their eyes and were eager to try. Those who are difficult to accept frown, thinking that this cup of clam milk tea, which may be fishy, is comparable to dark cuisine and is not expected to be tried.

In addition, some netizens think that this cup of clam milk tea may have food safety problems. After all, seafood products are prone to deterioration, improper handling of materials, long storage time, and so on, may cause gastrointestinal problems among drinkers. At the same time, some people are worried that seafood products may cause uncomfortable symptoms such as gout among some consumers.

In this regard, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning Post contacted the tea shop and asked it for information about clam milk tea. According to the person in charge of the store, the packing cup is only a decorative clam shell without meat, but the drink does add fresh stock made from clams.

The staff said that they chose red island clams with Qingdao characteristics to boil into a pot of stock, filtered and mixed with perfume lemon and Laoshan white snake grass water, a local characteristic drink, to make clam milk tea that "can represent Qingdao to a certain extent".

As for the taste of the drink that the public is concerned about, the researchers said that the taste of the product is sour and sweet, accompanied by the delicious smell of clams, not the fishy smell that netizens think. Clam milk tea may have food safety problems, the person in charge explained that the drink is undergoing safety tests, such as testing whether the drink will cause gastrointestinal problems, whether gout patients can drink, and so on.

However, although clam milk tea is currently under development, stores have promoted it online and plan to put it on the menu in the near future. After learning that onlookers were worried about the creative drink, the person in charge said that they would remind customers when the product was on the shelves.

If it is found that clam milk tea is really not suitable for promotion, they will also consider not adding clam broth and using other ingredients to replicate the taste of clams.

However, after seeing the introduction and explanation given by the store, there are still some onlookers who think that "soup can be just soup and there is no need to force others to make milk tea."

It is understandable that tea shops have developed unique creative drinks to enhance their competitiveness in the industry, but many people have pointed out that R & D personnel should consider whether products can be accepted by consumers and whether they have food safety problems. Like the "Snake coffee" of the major social media who brushed the screen some time ago, although they are curious in appearance and attract the brave to challenge, they are also reminded by professionals that there are risks to their consumption.
