About Teh ais

Teh Ais is a popular iced milk tea originating from Malaysia and is a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine. It typically consists of black tea, sweetened condensed milk, and ice, offering a rich, creamy, and sweet flavor profile. Black tea, the base of Teh Ais, is known for its moderate caffeine content and antioxidant properties. The sweetened condensed milk primarily contributes sugars and fats, making it a calorie-dense beverage. While Teh Ais is enjoyed as a delightful refreshment, its nutritional profile should be considered thoughtfully as it often contains a significant amount of added sugar. A typical 250ml serving can provide around 150-200 calories, depending on the preparation and sugar levels, with negligible protein and some calcium from the milk component.

Health Benefits

• Black tea in Teh Ais contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants that may support heart health by reducing oxidative stress.
• The caffeine in black tea can boost alertness and improve concentration, contributing to short-term mental performance.
• The calcium in sweetened condensed milk provides a small benefit for bone health, supporting strong bones and teeth.

Is Teh Ais suitable for a vegan diet?

Traditional Teh Ais is not vegan as it is made with sweetened condensed milk, which is dairy-based. However, you can make a vegan version by substituting the condensed milk with coconut creamer or sweetened plant-based milk alternatives.

Are there any health concerns with drinking Teh Ais?

Teh Ais can be high in sugar and fat content due to the use of sweetened condensed milk, which may contribute to calorie surplus if consumed frequently. Consuming it in moderation is recommended, especially for people managing weight, diabetes, or cardiovascular health.

What is the recommended serving size for Teh Ais?

A recommended serving size of Teh Ais is around 200-250ml. Adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of condensed milk or sugar to keep it within healthier limits while still enjoying its flavor.

How does Teh Ais compare to regular milk tea?

Teh Ais differs from regular milk tea in its use of sweetened condensed milk, giving it a richer and sweeter taste. Regular milk tea, often made with fresh milk or non-dairy creamer, can be lower in calories and sugar depending on the preparation.
