✨ 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.
