Ube Pumpkin Latte
The sweet spices of autumn, the roundness of pumpkin, the tender purple of ube: the ube pumpkin latte brings together two stars of the season in a single cup.
The comfort of crisp mornings, in a purple version.
Autumn in a cup
The pumpkin spice latte is the autumn ritual par excellence. Our version invites ube to it.
The pumpkin purée brings the velvet, the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) the warmth, and the ube the colour and vanilla sweetness. The pairing is surprisingly natural: two soft, autumnal ingredients that come together in a comforting latte.
To enjoy from the first autumn chills, wrapped in a blanket: the pumpkin-ube duo is made for it.

The spices reveal themselves in the heat of the milk.
Infuse the spices in the hot milk before adding the ube, to release their fragrance. A homemade, unsweetened pumpkin purée gives the best result. Adjust the syrup to taste, as ube is already sweet.
A whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon turn this latte into a real autumn coffee-shop treat.
