Ice Ube Latte
The iced version of the ube latte, the one that turns heads: a spectacular purple gradient over ice cubes, topped with frothy milk.
Refreshing, mellow, caffeine-free, ready in two minutes.
The purple latte, refreshing edition
When it’s hot, the ube latte goes on ice.
The principle is the same as the hot version, but served cold: the ube base stays at the bottom, the milk glides over the ice cubes, and the famous purple gradient appears. It’s as pretty as it is good.
Caffeine-free, this ice latte is just as enjoyable at 10 a.m. as at 10 p.m. The purple refreshment for the whole day.

See the recipe →The chef’s touch
Two details make the most beautiful gradient.
Very cold milk. The colder the milk, the more slowly it sinks and the sharper the gradient. Pour very gently, over the ice cubes, without stirring right away: let the colour take shape before you stir.
Taste before sweetening. Cold, ube seems a little less sweet than hot: half a spoon of syrup is often enough.

Your questions about the ice ube latte.
How do you make an ice ube latte?
Dissolve a teaspoon of ube powder in a little hot water, pour it into the bottom of a glass, add ice cubes then 200 ml of very cold milk over the top. Stir just before drinking.
How do you get the purple gradient?
Pour the cold milk very slowly over the ice cubes, on top of the ube base, without stirring right away. The colour forms on its own.
Which milk for an ice ube latte?
Oat and coconut give the creamiest result; almond, lighter, lets the colour show through better.
Does the ice ube latte contain caffeine?
No: ube is naturally caffeine-free, to enjoy at any hour.
Can you make it ahead?
Make the ube base ahead and keep it chilled; add ice cubes and milk at serving time for a beautiful gradient.
