How to Make Iced Espresso with Milk (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Iced Espresso with Milk, locally known as 'Espresso Ais dengan Susu', is a modern beverage embraced by Malaysians who love their coffee chilled. The drink blends robust Malaysian espresso with creamy susu cair (evaporated milk) or susu segar (fresh milk), served over ice for a refreshing kick. While espresso is a global trend, Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine adapts it with local touches, such as the addition of pandan leaf or lemongrass for aromatic depth. This beverage is perfect for hot afternoons, offering a smooth, energizing balance between coffee’s boldness and milk’s mellow sweetness. Iced Espresso with Milk is popular in urban cafés across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor, reflecting Malaysia’s evolving coffee culture. The recipe can be easily customized with ingredients like gula Melaka (palm sugar) or santan (coconut milk) for a unique local twist. Health-conscious Malaysians appreciate this drink for its low fat and protein-rich milk, making it a satisfying choice without excessive calories. The cold preparation also makes it ideal for our tropical climate, providing instant cooling relief and sustained energy, whether enjoyed at breakfast or as an afternoon treat.
