Dear Matcha enthusiasts and tea lovers,

Today we present you an exciting new interpretation of a beloved classic: the Ube Matcha Latte! This colorful creation combines the earthy depth of matcha with the sweet exoticism of ube for a drink that not only tastes delicious but also looks beautiful.

What is Ube?

Ube is a purple yam from the Philippines. It has a mildly sweet, nutty flavor and lends a striking purple color to dishes and drinks.

What makes the Ube Matcha Latte so special?

The Ube Matcha Latte is a harmonious blend of two Asian superstars: matcha, the finely ground green tea powder from Japan, and ube. This combination not only results in a drink with a captivating color palette, but also a flavor experience that will enchant your taste buds.

Ingredients for your Ube Matcha Latte

1 teaspoon organic matcha powder
60ml hot water
ice cubes
Ube extract (to taste, we recommend 1-2 teaspoons)
150ml milk (or plant-based alternative)

How to prepare your Ube Matcha Latte

Step 1: Add one teaspoon of organic matcha powder to a bowl or cup.

Step 2: Pour 60ml of hot water over the matcha powder and stir it with a frother until it forms a smooth paste.

Step 3: Fill a large glass with ice cubes.

Step 4: Pour the ube extract over the ice cubes.

Step 5: Pour the cold milk over the ube extract and ice cubes.

Step 6: Carefully pour the matcha mixture over the milk. Watch the layers form!

Step 7: Stir once before drinking to blend the flavors.

Voilà! Your Ube Matcha Latte is ready to enjoy!
