Variations[edit]
Teh-C refers to tea made with unsweetened evaporated milk, unlike the traditional teh tarik which is made with sweetened condensed milk. Vendors however will add sugar to Teh-C unless specifically asked not to. The Malay word for nil or zero, kosong, is used to indicate that the drinker does not want their beverage to be sweetened.
Teh-O refers to the same tea used but without any addition of dairy entirely. Like Teh-C, sugar is usually added except when Teh-O kosong is specified where once again no sugar is added.
Teh halia, ginger tea which is also found in various coffee shops.
Cham (Cantonese word for "mix") is a combination of tea and coffee.
