Tips for a Perfect Ube Latte
For a creamier texture, you can use whole milk or add a touch of cream. If you prefer a lighter drink, opt for semi-skimmed milk or a plant-based drink. Feel free to adjust the amount of powder according to your desired flavor intensity. For a cold version, prepare your ube mixture with lukewarm water, then pour it over ice cubes before adding cold milk.
