📋 Ingredients (2 cups)

• 1 ripe mango (or 1 cup mango cubes)
• 250 ml plant milk: almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk (dairy option: skim milk)
• 2 tablespoons ube powder
• 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (or sugar)
• Ice + a pinch of vanilla (optional)

Flavor tip: Almond milk boosts the natural nutty note; coconut milk makes it extra creamy.

🍽️ Method

1. Mango compote — Blend the mango, then warm in a saucepan with syrup for 2–3 min until jammy. Optional ginger zest for freshness.
2. Ube cream — Whisk ube powder with a few spoons of hot milk using a whisk or milk frother until smooth and foamy.
3. Assemble — Layer compote, ice and milk in 2 cups; spoon the ube cream on top (pour over the back of a spoon for neat marbling).

🥄 Barista tips

• For a hot latte, heat milk to 65–70 °C and froth for a silky texture.
• Garnish with caramel drizzle, white chocolate shards or a dusting of cocoa.
• Use a clear tall glass to showcase the layers.

🍽️ Variations

• Espresso twist — Add a shot of espresso for a fruity café latte.
• Teas & infusions — Swap part of the milk for a vanilla infusion or light tea.
• Iced smoothie-latte — Blend everything with ice for a super creamy drink.
