English Indian Filter Coffee (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Order it without added sugar, jaggery, honey, flavored syrups, or sweetened condensed milk; use cinnamon or cardamom for flavor instead.

Choose a smaller serving and avoid refills, especially if the coffee is made with a concentrated sweet milk mixture.

Use unsweetened milk or a modest amount of unsweetened soy milk; avoid creamers and milk powders with added sugar.

Have the coffee with a protein- and fiber-rich snack such as a boiled egg, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or plain unsweetened Greek yogurt rather than on an empty stomach.

If you want something alongside it, choose options such as roasted chana, paneer, or vegetable omelet instead of biscuits, rusk, pastries, or sweet buns.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking it, and monitor whether caffeine itself raises your readings even when the drink is unsweetened.
