Activated charcoal—the trendy margarita ingredient and cleaning agent—is nothing compared to a matte black latte.。

The new drink from Round K in New York City is even darker than the activated charcoal recipes that swept the internet a few months ago.。

The nondairy drink contains coconut ash, almond milk, espresso, 98 percent Dutch process cacao, and a coconut cream and marzipan topping. Coconut ash, a type of activated charcoal, is the ingredient that gives the drink its color. It's popular in ice cream too.。
