The official GOT Twitter account poked fun at the blunder by tweeting: 'News from Winterfell. The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.'

The misplaced cup appeared to undermine the credibility of the hit show on Sunday evening, with fans complaining the week before that the editing was way too dark to see what was going on.
Fans stayed up late to watch an eventful fourth episode as the long-running fantasy drama, now in its eighth season, prepares for a bloody conclusion in little more than a fortnight’s time.
But they were spitting their cocoa out after spotting the beverage in Winterfell’s Great Hall, in a pivotal scene for Jon Snow and the united army of Wildlings, Unsullied and Dothraki warriors.

There's bean a mistake: The hilarious GIFs appeared to be never-ending following Sunday night's episode
More familiar with a horn of ale than a coconut cappuccino, Jon and Daenerys appeared oblivious to the offending cup, placed on one of the hall's long trestle-tables, as their raucous celebrations kicked off the episode.
But the gaffe was not lost on eagle-eyed viewers, who promptly expressed their disbelief on social media.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: 'So this is where we're at now! A Starbucks cup!'
While another joked: 'If that’s Dany’s Starbucks coffee I feel bad for the barista who has to write her name on the cup.... hand must be cramping.'
Twitter is coming: The comments were inevitably followed by a flurry of hilarious memes
'I missed the story arc where dany discovers pumpkin spice lattes,' wrote a third.
Another fan dismissed claims that the cup had been Photoshopped onto the scene for comical effect, writing: 'It isn’t I just rewatched the scene on hbo now is that a candle or something wtf.' (sic)
The blunder comes as season eight gears up for a dramatic climax at Kings Landing over the course of its final two episodes.
Game of Thrones continues on HBO in the US, and is screened simultaneously at 2 AM on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK, on Sunday night.
