By using low-fat evaporated milk and minimal brown sugar, it reduces saturated fat and calorie content. Pandan and ginger add antioxidants, while coffee itself is rich in polyphenols. The inclusion of optional stevia or erythritol further lowers glycemic impact, making this beverage suitable for those monitoring blood sugar. Each serving is packed with flavor but light on unnecessary calories, carbs, and fat.
