Ube Latte Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ube halaya (purple yam jam)
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or your choice of dairy/non-dairy milk)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (sugar, honey, or preferred sweetener)
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 cup of milk until it’s hot but not boiling, about 3-5 minutes.
- Whisk in Ube Halaya: Add 2 tablespoons of ube halaya to the warm milk and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the ube is fully incorporated.
- Sweeten to Taste: Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of your preferred sweetener until dissolved, adjusting based on your sweetness preference.
- Serve: Pour the ube latte into a cup. You may enjoy it warm or pour over ice for a refreshing iced ube latte.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture or substitute with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the sweetness depending on your preference or the sweetness of the ube halaya used.
- For an extra frothy latte, froth the milk before mixing in the ube.
- Ube halaya can usually be found in Asian grocery stores or made at home from boiled purple yam.
