Storing preparations and capsules
A prepared latte, an ube cake, some capsules: each form has its own good storage practices. Here's how to keep freshness, taste and colour, without waste.
Once prepared, does it keep?
Powder keeps for a long time, but once turned into a drink or a dessert, ube follows the usual kitchen rules: cold, away from air, and not too long. Here are the benchmarks by type of preparation, plus tips for the capsules.
An ube drink is best enjoyed freshly prepared: the foam and colour are then at their finest. Stored, it stays good but a little less vibrant.
How long: the table.
| Preparation | Where and how | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Ube latte (hot or iced) | In the fridge, covered | 24 h; remix before |
| Cream, ganache | In the fridge, wrapped | 2 to 3 days |
| Cake, cheesecake | In the fridge, covered | 3 to 4 days |
| Ice cream, frozen dessert | In the freezer | Several weeks |
| Capsules | Dry, at room temperature | Until the best-before date |
Where and how
Duration
Drinks and desserts
A drink keeps in the fridge, well covered, and is best enjoyed within 24 hours: remember to remix it, as the powder can settle. Creams and cakes keep a few days in the fridge, wrapped to stop them drying out. Ice creams freeze without trouble.
For an iced drink prepared in advance, keep the milk + ube mix cold and add the ice cubes only when serving. The texture stays perfect.
The capsules
The capsules keep easily: dry, at room temperature, away from heat and moisture, until their best-before date. Their seal protects the contents from air and light. Just avoid storing them near a heat source or in a damp place.

Your questions: storing your preparations.
How long does a prepared ube latte keep?
About 24 hours in the fridge, well covered. Remix it before serving, as the powder can settle at the bottom.
Can you freeze ube preparations?
Ice creams and frozen desserts freeze perfectly. For creams and cakes, refrigeration over a few days is preferable.
How long does an ube cake keep?
About 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered to stop it drying out and to preserve its colour.
How to store the Ube Latte capsules?
Dry, at room temperature, away from heat and moisture, until their best-before date. Their seal protects the contents.
My ube drink has settled at the bottom, is that normal?
Yes, it's normal after a few hours. A stir with a spoon or whisk is enough to get back a smooth texture.
