Note: Being in China it’s hard for me to know what’s in everything I make. But I do this all the time. You can do the exact same thing with coffee. And you don’t need ice. I make mine hot. It’s good for those cold days. Also you can make this with even less cal. I fill my cup about 75% to 90% with tea or coffee then add about 1-3 tbsp of sweetened condensed milk. Works like a charm.
