What drives the calories

  • Almost all the calories come from sweetened condensed milk or sweetened creamer, which is mostly sugar.
  • A standard glass has about 30 to 40 g of condensed milk.
  • Iced versions are often served in a larger glass with more milk.

How to make it lighter

  • Ask for kurang manis to cut the condensed milk by about a third.
  • Order teh O kosong (no milk, no sugar) or teh C kurang manis.
  • Order it hot instead of iced, because iced glasses are often bigger.
