Short answer
One glass of es teh manis (about 325 g) has about 100 kcal and 0 g of protein; 100 g has about 31 kcal. What changes the calories most is the amount of sugar. One glass of brewed tea with two tablespoons of sugar over ice was calculated.
Es teh manis is the default drink at Indonesian food stalls. Strong jasmine or black tea is sweetened and poured over a glass full of ice cubes.
Unsweetened tea has almost no calories; all the energy comes from sugar. Because people often drink more than one glass a day, the added sugar adds up quickly.
