JAKARTA - Milk coffee is a drink that is loved by many people today. In Indonesia, there are so many cafes that offer milk coffee menus with various variants, one of which is famous is sugar milk coffee.

Launching from Essa News, on Thursday, November 28, 2024, milk coffee concoctions usually have various types of milk, various flavored foams, sugar, and ice cubes. However, it should be noted that some of these additional ingredients can endanger health, because of the high content of sugar and calories.

However, there are additional alternative ingredients so that milk coffee is healthier for consumption. Some nutritionists stated that the use of low-fat milk is suitable to be added to the concoction of milk coffee to make it healthier.

Vegetable milk can also be an option, because it is low in calories. Some plant-based milks that can be used to mix coffee are oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and others.

Milk coffee mixed with plant-based milk is not only healthier, but can also reduce the bitter taste of coffee. However, the sugar content of plant-based milk must also be on a normal basis.

Another additional ingredient that can make milk coffee healthier is the use of spices. Such as cardamom and cinnamon.

The addition of these spices makes the coffee milk concoction rich in antioxidants, which can increase the body's immunity. The addition of spices will also make the aroma of milk coffee more fragrant.

Meanwhile, the ingredients that must be avoided in mixing healthy dairy coffee are the use of powder milk or powder cream. This is because the material contains very high sugar, which can pose a risk of causing diabetes.
