Servings: 1 (16 oz / 475 mL)
Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Ube Layer

• 1½ tbsp ube halaya (ube jam)
• 1 tsp ube powder (optional, for a deeper ube flavor and color)
• 2 tbsp hot water
• 1 tsp condensed milk (optional, if you prefer it sweeter)

Matcha Layer

• 2 g (about 1 tsp) Guts To Goals Matcha
• 60 mL water (75–80°C)

Milk Layer

• 180–200 mL cold milk
• Ice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ube

In a small bowl, combine the ube halaya, hot water, and ube powder (if using). Stir until smooth and pourable.

For a café-style look, spread a little of the ube mixture around the inside of your glass before adding the remaining mixture to the bottom.

Step 2: Add the Milk

Fill the glass with ice, then slowly pour in the cold milk.

Step 3: Prepare the Matcha

Sift the Guts To Goals Matcha into a bowl to remove any clumps.

Add the warm water (75–80°C) and whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.

Step 4: Assemble

Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the back of a spoon onto the milk.

You’ll have three beautiful layers:

• Purple ube
• Creamy milk
• Vibrant green matcha

Give it a good stir before taking your first sip.

Tips for the Best Ube Matcha Latte

• Use water between 75–80°C for a smoother-tasting matcha.
• Sifting the matcha before whisking helps create a silky texture.
• Whole milk creates the creamiest latte, while oat milk offers a delicious dairy-free alternative.
• If your ube jam is already quite sweet, there’s no need to add condensed milk.
