Andy's Morning Coffee - South Indian Filter Coffee With 3.5% Milk and Sugar, 1 mug (1 serving)

Reduce the added sugar gradually (for example, by 1/2 teaspoon at a time) until you can enjoy the coffee with little or none.

Use cinnamon, cardamom, or vanilla essence for perceived sweetness instead of extra sugar.

Drink the coffee alongside a small protein- and fat-containing snack, such as a boiled egg, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts, rather than on an empty stomach.

Avoid pairing the coffee with sweet biscuits, rusk, bakery items, or other refined-carbohydrate breakfast foods.

Choose a smaller mug or dilute the coffee slightly with extra 3.5% milk while keeping the sugar amount the same or lower.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after drinking it, if practical, to help reduce the post-drink rise.
