Brilio.net - For some people, coffee is a mandatory drink for daily consumption, especially for workers. The reason is, this drink contains caffeine which is believed to make the eyes less sleepy during activities. A number of people who like drinking coffee often choose to buy ready-made at a cafe or make it themselves at home.
Making your own coffee at home is definitely cheaper than buying it at a cafe. You can use coffee powder which is widely sold on the market. For mendang-mending people, sachet coffee is definitely a mainstay, because the price is more pocket-friendly.
However, for health observers, this sachet coffee drink has never been the main choice, because the sugar content is quite high. As is known, consuming drinks high in sugar too often can be detrimental to your health. But if you still want to consume sachet coffee with minimal sugar, maybe you can try the method shared by the TikTok account @lalakkland.
