Tentang Teh Ais with Evaporated Milk
Teh Ais with Evaporated Milk is a staple beverage found at any mamak or warung throughout Malaysia. This classic drink combines strong brewed black tea (usually Ceylon or local brands), sugar, and creamy evaporated milk, poured over generous amounts of ice. The addition of evaporated milk—locally known as susu sejat—brings out a richer mouthfeel and smooth sweetness compared to the usual Teh Ais. It's a favourite for cooling down during humid afternoons or pairing with spicy meals, and you'll often see it served in large glasses, filled to the brim. Locals searching for 'kalori Teh Ais' should note the energy value is roughly 110 kcal per 100g, making it one of the heavier options among cold drinks at the mamak. The calorie count goes up with more sugar or milk, so if you're mindful of your intake, you can always request 'kurang manis' or reduce the amount of evaporated milk. Large servings easily exceed 250 kcal, so portion control matters if you’re watching your diet. Teh Ais with evaporated milk is vegetarian and halal-friendly, but almost always sweet—so those monitoring sugar intake might prefer plain Teh O Ais.
