To burn it off
Teh tarik means pulled tea. Strong black tea is mixed with sweetened condensed milk and poured back and forth between two jugs from high up, which cools it and gives it a thick froth.
A glass is 230 kcal, with 38 g of carbs, 7 g of fat and 4 g of protein. Nearly all of it comes from the condensed milk, the tea itself is close to nothing.
It's the drink at every mamak stall in Malaysia, next to roti canai. Watching it being pulled is part of the order.
Tips
- 1Order it kurang manis, less sweet. Every stall knows the words.
- 2Try teh O, tea with sugar and no milk, for a much lighter glass.
- 3Get the small glass, not the big mug.
