Hi- I have been scouring the internet and can't find an answer! If you order a medium iced Dunkin Donuts coffee and order ''extra milk" - what amount of milk is that? I want to log it, but can't find the measurement for the extra milk anywhere.

If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it!

    Do you know how much milk is in the original? I'd probably just double the milk in the original coffee with milk.

    I'd log half a cup of milk and call it a day. Or even better, stop asking for extra milk.

    Maybe it's just me, but I can think of more efficient ways to do so than by requesting a couple extra tablespoons of milk in my coffee...

    Get an iced latte instead. More milk and you can track it easily!

    I do other things as well- just trying to see if anyone knew how much milk this is...

    Never thought of this actually, thank you!

    What was your doctor's reason for more dairy? Besides the latte, there has to be other easy ways to sneak in more.

    I'm really just looking to know if anyone knows how much to log "extra milk" as.

    There are "extra milk" entries in the database, but I have no idea if they are accurate.

    The best way to log is simply to ask them how much milk was added (and make sure you know if it's whole or skim) and then log that.

    I used to work at Dunkin donuts for a very long time. When you ask for milk in coffee it is assumed it's whole milk unless you specifically ask for skim. A small coffee with "regular" milk has two 0.5 shots (1 oz), a medium has 3 shots (1.5 oz), a large 4 (2 oz), and an extra large 5 (2.5 oz). Anything extra is considered one extra shot unless specified so a medium iced coffee with extra milk has 2 oz of whole milk in it. Hope I can help!

    All the beverage details are on their sit(not with extra milk, so just guesstimate the rest.
