A creamy, purple, Starbucks-inspired iced ube latte made at home with ube extract, milk, and your favorite coffee. Ready in about 5 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (whole, oat, or coconut)
  • ½ teaspoon ube extract (adjust to taste)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (or vanilla syrup)
  • 1 shot espresso (or ½ cup cold brew)
  • 1 glass of ice

Instructions

  • Whisk the milk, ube extract, and sweetened condensed milk together in a glass or jar until smooth and evenly purple.
  • Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the ube milk over it.
  • Pour the espresso or cold brew over the top. Serve layered, then stir to combine.
  • Optional: top with ube cold foam for the full coffee-shop version.

Notes

  • Ube extracts vary in strength, so start with ½ teaspoon and add more to taste.
  • For a Starbucks-inspired iced ube coconut latte, use coconut milk and add a splash of toasted coconut syrup.
  • For a hot ube latte, warm the milk, whisk in the extract and sweetener, and pour over espresso.
  • For a caffeine-free version, skip the coffee and serve the ube milk over ice.
