Ingredients

Ube Latte:

  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 tablespoons ube halaya
  • ¼ teaspoon ube extract (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • Ice as needed
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based, coconut milk recommended)
  • 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (such as sugar, stevia, agave, honey; adjust to taste)

Ube Cold Foam:

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ¼ teaspoon ube extract (adjust to taste)
  • 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (such as sugar, stevia, agave, honey; adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep ube mixture: In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons hot water, 2 tablespoons ube halaya, and ¼ teaspoon ube extract until smooth and well combined to create the ube base for the latte.
  2. Prepare espresso: In another small bowl, use a frother to mix 2 tablespoons hot water with 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder until fluffy, forming a concentrated espresso mixture.
  3. Smear condensed milk: Using a spoon, coat the inside of your serving mug with 1-2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to add sweetness and depth.
  4. Assemble latte: Fill the mug with ice and pour in ½ cup milk. Top with the prepared ube mixture and espresso. Taste and sweeten further with 1-2 teaspoons sweetener if desired.
  5. Froth ube cold foam: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 tablespoon milk, and ¼ teaspoon ube extract. Use a frother to blend until light and fluffy. Mix in 1-2 teaspoons sweetener, adjusting sweetness to your preference.
  6. Top latte: Pour the prepared ube cold foam over the top of the ube latte, creating a creamy and colorful foam layer. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any dairy or plant-based milk for the latte and foam; coconut milk adds a lovely tropical flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of ube extract and sweetener to suit your taste preferences.
  • If you don’t have a frother, use a handheld whisk or shake the mixture vigorously in a sealed jar for the foam.
  • This recipe is ideal for one serving; multiply ingredients accordingly for more servings.
  • Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the best texture and flavor of the foam.
