Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of brewed ube tea (or ube extract)
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon of ube powder (optional, for extra flavor and color)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Ube jam (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ube Tea: Brew your ube tea by mixing 1 tablespoon of ube extract with 1 cup of hot water, or steep 1 tablespoon of dried ube tea leaves in 1 cup of hot water for 5-7 minutes. Strain and let cool. Optionally, stir in 1 tablespoon of ube powder for enhanced flavor and color.

- Assemble the Iced Ube Latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled ube tea over the ice, filling the glass halfway. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the ube tea for a layered effect.
- Add Toppings: Optionally, top with whipped cream and drizzle ube jam over the whipped cream or into the drink.
- Final Touches: Stir gently to combine flavors or leave layered for presentation. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Serve: Enjoy your refreshing iced ube latte immediately!
