How it's used
Ordering this drink at a local cha chaan teng is a classic comfort choice, often associated with childhood or soothing a sore throat. It is almost exclusively served hot unless specifically requested as an iced version, which is less common. The flavor profile is distinctively malty and sweet, setting it apart from standard milk tea or coffee.
