Ube Frozen Latte
Thick, icy, frothy and a frosted purple: the ube frozen latte is the latte of summer, blended into a snow-like texture.
The ultimate chill, through a straw.
The heatwave latte
When it's hot out, the ube frozen latte swaps the cup for the blender.
Milk, the ube base and ice are blended into a smooth, snow-like texture, halfway between a drink and a dessert. Cool, thick and frothy, it's sipped through a straw and crowned with whipped cream. The most refreshing way to enjoy ube.
The frozen latte is perfect for heatwave days: its icy texture cools you down instantly.

The snow-like texture comes down to the ice.
Use plenty of ice cubes and little milk for a thick, granita-like texture. Blend in pulses to crush the ice well. Serve at once, before the snow melts.
Milk ice cubes (frozen milk) keep the frozen latte icy without watering it down.
