This Ube Latte is super easy because we are going to use a short cut for that super ube flavor. Melted ube ice cream with a shot of espresso. So sarap!
Do not under estimate the versatility of Ube Ice Cream. You can turn it into cakes, tiramisu, or even French toast!
No need to concoct an Ube flavored foam or mix condensed milk with Ube flavoring. Melted Ube Ice cream is going to do all the work for you and I have to say, its really good with coffee.
Ingredients
Here is what you will need to make the most delish Ube Latte.
Shot of Espresso - I mean if you are here making a latte I am going to assume you have some sort of espresso machine. You will need one shot or two if you want it stronger.
Coconut Milk - The best kind of milk to use with Ube is always always coconut milk. However if you are in a bind feel free to use any other kind of milk you like.
Ice - You will need ice for 2 purposes. One for shaking the latte and two for using in your serving glass to keep the drink cold. About half a cup for the shaking and another half cup for serving. Or more if you want to use lots of ice.
Maple Syrup - Just a teaspoon to make the latte a touch sweet.
Melted Ube Ice Cream - Ah, the crown jewel! You will need 1 cup of melted Ube Ice cream.
How To Make An Ube Latte
Before we get started you do need some special equipment. Some type of espresso machine is ideal to make your shot of espresso. If you don't have a machine you can always use a shot of ready made cold brew.
Second special equipment needed is a cocktail shaker. One that is about 16 oz is great. I have an 8oz one and I find it too small. An alternative to a cocktail shaker is a water bottle that you can shake up.
Third is your serving glass. A 16oz glass is best, but you can also divide the drink into two 8oz glass.
First pour in ⅔ of coconut milk into a cocktail shaker along with ½ cup of ice. Add in the shot of espresso.
Next add in 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
Shake for a few seconds until everything is super cold and blended.
Have your serving glass ready filled with ice. Pour in the latte.
Leave about a 1 inch gap so that is room for the melted Ube Ice cream.
Finally pour in the melted Ube Ice cream for that real deal ube flavor.
I mean how pretty is she???
Give it a little stir and enjoy your super easy Iced Ube Latte right away.
