10 easy ube drinks
Ready to dive in? Here are ten ube drinks that are simple to make, from the great classic ube latte to iced and indulgent versions. Each one is made with our ube powder and a little milk.
Where to start?
All these drinks start from the same move: dissolve the ube powder in a little warm milk, then top up and stir. From there, anything goes, from comforting hot to refreshing iced. Here are our ten favourite ideas to get started.
A single powder is enough for these ten drinks. You simply adjust the milk, the temperature and the extras to your mood.
Five hot drinks
- The ube latte: the great classic, creamy and purple, hot in a big mug.
- The ube coffee: an ube latte lifted with an espresso shot, mild and bold.
- The ube mocha: the indulgent meeting of ube, chocolate and coffee.
- The ube hot chocolate: comforting and vanilla-like, perfect in winter.
- The matcha ube latte: two trendy powders together, green and purple in the same cup.
Five cold drinks
- The iced ube latte: the iced version of the classic, on a bed of ice cubes.
- The coconut ube latte: an exotic coconut note and a silky texture.
- The ube bubble tea: with tapioca pearls, playful and indulgent.
- The ube smoothie: fruity and vitamin-packed, ideal at breakfast.
- The ube frappé: blended with ice, creamy and refreshing.
For all iced versions, add the ice cubes last and whisk well: the colour stays even and the foam holds better.
Over to you
Start with the ube latte to get the hang of it, then explore the iced and indulgent versions. In a few tries, you'll find your signature drink.
- All these drinks start from the same ube powder.

Your questions: ube drinks.
Which ube drink to start with?
The hot ube latte is the ideal starting point: simple, creamy and true to the taste of ube. Once you're comfortable, try the iced versions.
Do you need special equipment?
No. A whisk or a small handheld frother is enough. A blender is handy for smoothies and frappés.
Do these drinks contain caffeine?
Ube contains none. Only the versions with coffee (ube coffee, mocha) or matcha add any.
Can you make them without sugar?
Yes. Pure powder isn't sweetened: you add the sweetener of your choice, or nothing at all.
Which milk to use?
Barista oat gives the best texture and a beautiful colour, but all milks work. It's up to you to choose to taste.
