Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and English Indian Filter Coffee (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Ask for no added sugar or gradually reduce the amount of sugar by ¼–½ teaspoon at a time; use cinnamon or cardamom for perceived sweetness.

Choose unsweetened milk and avoid condensed milk, creamers, and flavored milk powders.

Have the coffee or tea after a meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with a small protein- and fat-rich snack such as a boiled egg, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or paneer.

Keep the serving small and avoid refills; dilute strong coffee or tea with extra hot water if desired.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after drinking it, especially if it contains sugar.
