Coffee floats
Apparently, tea isn’t the only hot beverage that’s been messed with in India. The FSSAI has had issues with coffee in the past, to the point they’ve had to highlight how to test for the presence of unwanted ingredients. It seems clay and chicory powder are two things that are regularly used to adulterate coffee.
Fortunately, if you want to see if they’re present, you just have to put the granules in a glass of water. After stirring a bit and leaving the glass for five minutes, things should become clear. The actual coffee will float, while the additional ingredients will sink.
