Notes
- Use good quality espresso for the best bold coffee flavor.
- Adjust the amount of ube extract to taste for a stronger or milder purple yam flavor.
- Unsweetened coconut milk keeps the latte light; use sweetened milk if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- This drink is best served fresh to enjoy the layers and contrasting flavors.
- To make it vegan and dairy-free, ensure your espresso shot does not contain milk or creamer.
