Ube coconut-water latte recipe — summer purple drink

📋 Ingredients

For 2 glasses:

  • 300 ml well-chilled coconut water
  • 200 ml heavy cream (or a plant-based option such as coconut milk or soy cream for a vegan version)
  • 2 tablespoons ube powder (purple yam powder)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes

📝 Tip: Use pure coconut water for a more intense, naturally sweet flavor.

🍽️ Preparation

  1. Prep the base — In a large bowl, whisk the cream (or plant-based alternative) with ube powder and sugar until light and fluffy. A hand whisk, electric whisk or milk frother all work well.
  2. Assemble — Fill your glasses with ice, then pour in the chilled coconut water to halfway.
  3. Finish & presentation — Gently spoon the whipped ube cream on top so it floats, creating a striking layered look.

🍽️ Recipe Variations

  • Spiced — Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for depth.
  • Fruity — Stir a little mango or pineapple purée into the coconut water.
