📋 Ingredients (2 cups)

• 2 tablespoons ube powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or maple syrup)
• 2 tablespoons very hot water
• 300 ml milk: almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or dairy semi-skimmed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Ice (for the cold version)

Tools: bowl, whisk or milk frother, saucepan to heat the milk, 2 cups. Coffee option: a shot of espresso.

🍽️ Method

1. Make the purple foam. Mix ube powder, sugar and boiling water. Whisk or use a frother until glossy and mousse-like.
2. Heat the milk. Warm in a saucepan without boiling. Almond for nuttiness, coconut for richer, creamy body, soy for neutral.
3. Pour & assemble. Pour the milk into cups, add vanilla, then spoon the foam on top. Optional espresso base. Finish with cocoa, ginger or caramel.

🥄 Pro tips

• Milk foam. A milk frother gives a very mousse-like result; a vigorous whisk works too.
• Flavor pairing. Cinnamon, chai, cardamom—instant indulgence.
• Hot or iced. Pre-warm the cup for hot service; keep milk cold for iced.

🍫 Finishes

• Chocolate powder or white chocolate shavings.
• Caramel drizzle or maple swirl.
• Whipped cream, chopped almonds or nuts.

🔁 Quick twists

• Chai infusion. Steep a chai bag in the hot milk.
• Ube cappuccino. Foam + espresso + milk.
• Tea base. Green/black tea with ube foam.

🧊 Storage

Foam keeps 6–8 h in the fridge; re-whisk 10 s before serving.
