Tips for an even better Ube Latte

⭐ 1. Use creamy milk

The best results come from milk:

  • oats

  • almond

  • whole cow

The creamier the milk → the better your latte will be.

⭐ 2. Light sugar (optional)

Ube is naturally soft.
A tiny drizzle of vanilla or maple syrup can enhance the taste, but it's not mandatory.

⭐ 3. For a dreamy mousse

If you want a coffee shop style latte, froth some of the milk before adding it.

⭐ 4. Add a personal touch

Topping ideas:

  • whipped cream

  • tapioca pearls

  • marshmallows

  • Ube powder sprinkled

  • vanilla cream

  • Vanilla ice cream (for a purple affogato 🤤)

🍰 And what about Ube in pastry form?

Good news:
Ube Keia Tea powder also works perfectly in:

  • pancakes (purple!)

  • waffles

  • cakes

  • muffins

  • icings

  • chia pudding

  • yogurt bowls

One single ingredient → a thousand delicious possibilities.

😱 Mistakes to avoid

❌ 1. Put the Ube directly into a cold latte without dissolving

Result: lumps.
Solution: Dissolve in a little hot water → perfect texture.

❌ 2. Overdose

Ube is very coloured → a small amount is enough.

❌ 3. Boil the milk

It changes the texture and the taste.
Keep the milk warm, not boiling.
