whole cow
The creamier the milk β the better your latte will be.
β 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.
β 3. For a dreamy mousse
If you want a coffee shop style latte, froth some of the milk before adding it.
β 4. Add a personal touch
Topping ideas:
-
whipped cream
-
tapioca pearls
-
marshmallows
-
Ube powder sprinkled
-
vanilla cream
-
Vanilla ice cream (for a purple affogato π€€)

π± Mistakes to avoid
