Girnar Masala Instant Tea Premix

Girnar Masala Instant Tea Premix lists dairy whitener (partly skimmed milk powder and sugar), sugar, tea extract (7%) and masala (2.2%: cloves, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg). The pack holds 10 sachets of 14 g, and the panel is printed per serving of 100 ml as prepared (one sachet in 100 ml of hot water).

CleanPlate scores it EC3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 11.1 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by dairy whitener, sugar and tea extract), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (6.14 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (0.7 g per 100 g) as made.
