How to Make an Ube Latte — Classic Purple Yam Latte Recipe

What Is an Ube Latte?

An ube latte is a milk-based drink flavoured with ube (purple yam). Ube and taro are different ingredients, and the flavour and colour of the finished drink depend on the product and preparation. Review UTea's current ube powder listing and pack for the exact ingredients, allergens and storage details.

Ingredients for One Iced Ube Latte

• Ube powder: 10 g
• Hot water: 80 g
• All-purpose creamer: 20-30 g
• Milk: 200-250 g
• Sugar syrup: to taste
• Ice: enough to fill the serving cup to about 80%

Different milks and creamers change the sweetness and texture. Test the combination you plan to use and adjust the syrup after tasting the finished base.

How to Make an Ube Latte

1. Add the ube powder to the hot water and stir or whisk until no dry patches remain.
2. While the mixture is warm, add the creamer and mix until dissolved.
3. Pour in the milk and stir to combine.
4. Add sugar syrup gradually, tasting as you go. The final sweetness depends on the products used.
5. Fill a serving cup with ice, pour in the ube mixture and serve.

Recipe Summary

For one serving, start with 10 g ube powder, 80 g hot water, 20-30 g creamer and 200-250 g milk. Add syrup and ice to taste. Use these amounts as a starting point and adjust for your cup size and the specific ingredients.

Tips for a Consistent Result

• Dissolve the powder in hot water before adding cold ingredients.
• Mix the creamer into the warm base to reduce dry clumps.
• Measure each portion during a cafe trial, then write down the final recipe for staff.
• If preparing a batch ahead, follow your venue's food-safety procedures and the product's storage directions; do not assume a holding time from this recipe.
