Note: I now have my own ube halaya recipe, feel free to use that instead too! 🙂
Ingredients
To make this iced ube latte, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Condensed milk is smeared on the inside of the mug for a fun design and added sweetness.
- You can use any type of milk. I used coconut milk, since coconut and ube is a common flavor pairing.
- This latte is full of ube flavor because there is both ube halaya (homemade or store-bought) AND ube extract, which are mixed with hot water until smooth.
- Since I do not have an espresso machine, I used instant espresso powder.
- Heavy cream is frothed with a little milk and ube extract to create super fluffy ube cold foam.
For the full list of ingredients and measurements, see the recipe card below.
Substitutions & Variations
- To make a hot ube latte, omit the ice and use warmed or steamed milk.
- In place of ube halaya (homemade or store-bought), you can use an equal amount of rehydrated ube powder or freshly mashed ube. Since they are not sweetened, you will need to adjust how much sweetener you use.
- Instead of instant espresso powder, you can use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee. You can also skip the coffee flavor and just enjoy ube milk!
- You can change up the ube cold foam flavor by omitting the ube extract. Some ideas are adding vanilla extract, matcha powder, or trying out my strawberry cold foam!
How To Make An Ube Latte
Step 1: In a small bowl, dissolve espresso powder with hot water. In another bowl, mix ube halaya, ube extract, and hot water until smooth. Set these aside.
Step 2: Use a spoon to smear condensed milk on the inside of your serving cup. Add ice.
Step 3: Pour in milk, espresso shot, and ube mixture. Taste and add sweetener if needed.
Step 4: In another small bowl, froth heavy cream, milk, and ube extract. Add sweetener, adjusting to taste. Pour on top of your ube coffee and enjoy!
