Cappuccino Ube
The frothiest way to enjoy ube: a purple cappuccino, crowned with a generous, airy milk foam.
With an Ube Time capsule, it’s ready in an instant, caffeine-free.
It’s all in the foam
The cappuccino is the art of milk foam.
Where the latte is all liquid softness, the cappuccino relies on a thick, velvety foam crowning the ube base. The contrast between the deep purple and the pearly white is irresistible.
A traditional cappuccino is made of three thirds: base, hot milk and foam. Here, the ube base replaces the espresso, caffeine-free.

The chef’s touch
The foam makes all the difference.
For a dense foam, start with very cold milk and use a frother: whole milk or barista oat froth best. Pour the liquid milk first, then spoon the foam on top for a beautiful dome.
A pinch of ube powder on the foam, and your cappuccino takes on the look of a barista’s coffee.
