Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon has responded to fans after she shared a video of her winter drink recipe, using snow.
Fans of the Legally Blonde star were in shock that she would use fresh snow from outside and eat it, even after it had been vamped up with salted caramel and chocolate syrup, alongside a splash of cold brew coffee. Speaking on TikTok, the star showed off her unique winter recipe, named 'Snow salt choccacino', but fans weren't convinced it was safe to drink, with some expressing concerns over whether it was sanitary or not.
One commented: "Can you put snow in a cup and let it melt I just want to see if it's safe first". Addressing their concerns in a follow-up, Reese explained: "There's so many people on here saying that snow is dirty. So we went and took snow from the backyard and we microwaved it and it's clear! Is this bad?! Am I not supposed to eat snow?"

I don't know how to do that!
"Ok talking about the snow not being filtered, I didn't grow up drinking filtered water. We drank out of the tap water, we actually put our mouths on the tap. And then sometimes like in summer when it was hot, we drank out of the hose. Like we put our mouth on the hose. So filtered water? I didn't...maybe that's why I'm like this."
