Ube Iced Latte with Vietnamese Coffee

Ube Iced Latte

The Ube Latte during our 4-month pop-up, Cafe Phin, was hands down the most popular drink of the season. It caught the attention of New York Magazine, New York Times, and Instagrammers everywhere. 

Now, you can bring the experience home.

Check out our easy and delicious (and vegan!) ube recipe below.

Adjust any of of these ratios (more ube, more milk, more coffee, etc.) to meet your personal preferences!

You can save the ube mix and try other recipes with it as well. It's an excellent base for creative drinks.
