Preparation

1
Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour in the milk.
2
Slowly pour the espresso over top.
3
For the cold foam, first mix the ube powder with a small splash of milk until smooth.
4
Add the heavy cream, remaining milk, and vanilla syrup, then whip until creamy using a milk frother.
5
Gently pour the ube cold foam on top of the latte to create a beautiful purple layer.

Tip

Always mix the ube powder with a little milk first until smooth. This makes the foam creamier and prevents lumps from forming.
