You can scrape an empty peanut butter jar as much as you want, but there will always be some peanut butter stuck to the sides. However, this still doesn’t mean you should throw it away. Instead, it is a perfect opportunity to make a tasty coffee drink.
Using an empty peanut butter jar to make coffee was first popularized by content creator and chef Reilly Mehan. He showcased this genius hack in several of his videos shared on TikTok, and it is safe to say that internet users loved it.
In one of the videos, Mehan makes an espresso that he infuses with oat milk. Next, he adds the espresso to an empty peanut butter jar alongside sweetener and vanilla extract. He closes the lid, gives it a strong shake, and serves “shaken peanut butter espresso” over ice.
You can follow Mehan’s recipe or add some personal twist to the drink. You can use any type of sweetener or coffee you like and also infuse the drink with some chocolate for an even more decadent drink. Also, if you don’t like iced coffee, simply don’t use ice cubes and drink it hot.
