Plain coffee with semi-skimmed milk is brewed coffee served with semi-skimmed milk, without added sugar. It can be made with filter, instant or other brewed coffee, so the strength and aroma depend on the coffee and how much milk you add. The milk softens the coffee’s bitterness and gives the drink a light, creamy texture.
It works well as a morning cup or an afternoon break, and can be enjoyed on its own or alongside a small snack. It is mostly water, with a little protein and energy from the milk; leaving out sugar keeps it a relatively light choice. Add the milk gradually if you want to keep the coffee flavour more prominent.
