Touché Serhant - This is Delicious

But First, What's Ube?
Ube, also known as purple yam, is a type of yam that is vivid purple in color. It is native to the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia. Ube has a sweet, nutty flavor with a slightly floral aroma, and it is commonly used in a variety of desserts and sweet dishes.
The Ube Latte: A Symphony of Flavors
An Ube latte is a beverage made by combining ube flavoring or ube extract with steamed milk and espresso. It's a variation of the traditional latte, which typically consists of espresso and steamed milk.
To make an Ube latte, the ube flavoring or extract is added to the steamed milk before being poured over the espresso shot. The result is a creamy, purple-hued latte with the distinctive flavor of ube that tastes even better than it looks.

The Ube Latte is a dance of rich coffee notes harmonizing with the natural sweetness of Ube, creating a sip-worthy symphony that'll leave you wanting an encore.
