The Easiest Ube Latte
If you've got ube extract, milk, and coffee, then you already have all the ingredients needed for this easy ube latte.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk or other milk substitution
- 1/8 tsp ube extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/4 cup strong coffee or espresso
- Ice
Instructions
- Mix coconut milk and ube extract to make ube milk.
- Fill a 12 oz glass (or larger) with ice. Pour in ube milk and sweetener, if using.
- To create a layered look, gently pour your 1/4 cup strong coffee or espresso, aiming the stream to hit the ice instead of the milk. Stir and enjoy.
Notes
- I actually prefer a slightly weaker ube flavor, using 1/8 tsp of extract for about 1 1/2 cups of milk, which is enough to split between two 12 oz glasses. It's completely a matter of taste how much extract you want to use.
- 1/4 cup is about the volume of two espresso shots, but you can also use Moka coffee, Vietnamese coffee, or even a strongly made instant coffee. For a weaker coffee flavor you can use drip or cold brew as well.
