Es Teler is a famous Indonesian dessert drink that combines a variety of fresh tropical fruits with creamy coconut milk and sweet syrup, served over shaved ice. The name “Es Teler” roughly translates to “drunken ice,” referring to the delightfully dizzy feeling from enjoying its rich and refreshing flavors.

Typical fruits used in Es Teler include avocado, young coconut meat, jackfruit, and sometimes grass jelly or nata de coco, which add different textures and natural sweetness. These ingredients are mixed with sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk and often flavored with a splash of syrup, such as pandan or vanilla syrup, to enhance the taste. The combination results in a rich, creamy, fruity, and refreshing dessert that is perfect for tropical climates.

Es Teler is commonly enjoyed as a cooling treat during hot weather and is a popular street food dessert throughout Indonesia. Its balance of creamy, sweet, and fruity flavors makes it a satisfying and indulgent choice.
