Glycemic index (GI)
Not applicable
This has under 5 g of available carbohydrate per serving, so a GI is not meaningful.
GI says how fast a food’s carbohydrate raises blood sugar. GL adds how much of it you eat, so it is the better guide for a real portion.
Tips at the stall
- Say "teh O kosong" to get it with no sugar at all. "Kurang manis" still has sugar in it.
- Hot or iced, it is the same drink: ask for "teh O ais kosong" if you want it cold.
