The recipe
How to make it.
The one trick that matters: dissolve the powder in a little warm water first and only then add the milk. You get no clumps, and the milk mixes in much more easily.
- 01
Ube base
Mix 1 scoop of ube powder with 30-60 ml warm water until smooth. Stir firmly for 10 to 15 seconds so no clumps are left.
- 02
Add the milk
Warm the milk or plant-based milk, add it, and stir or froth until even.
- 03
Taste and serve
Sweeten to taste if you like and serve straight away.
If it doesn't come out right
- Clumps? Use warm water first as the base and stir firmly for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Too watery? Use a little less water in step 1 or add half a scoop more ube.
- Too sweet or too flat? Start unsweetened, taste, and then add sweetener in small steps.
- Want it extra creamy? Use whole milk or a barista plant milk and froth it briefly.
- More of a dessert? Add a touch of vanilla and top it with whipped cream.

Questions
What people ask us.
How do you make a ube latte at home without clumps?
Dissolve the ube powder in a little warm water until smooth, then add the milk. The powder dissolves far better in warm water than in milk, and the milk then mixes easily into the paste.
What is the best ratio for a ube latte?
Start with 1 scoop of ube powder (8-10 g), 30-60 ml warm water and 150-180 ml milk. Then adjust the sweetness and the type of milk to your taste.
Is a ube latte caffeine-free?
Yes, ube is naturally caffeine-free. If you add matcha, the drink will contain caffeine.
What is the difference between ube powder and ube concentrate?
Ube powder gives the latte more body. Ube concentrate is quicker to dose and very consistent, which helps when the bar gets busy.
I run a cafe or hotel. Can I buy ube powder in bulk?
Yes. Our ube powder supplier page for Europe covers samples, minimum order quantities and bulk support.
