Notes
Ube Flavoring:
- Ube extract or ube flavoring may be purchased at Filipino supermarkets like Island Pacific or Seafood City. It is sometimes available at 99 Ranch or Hmart. Or, it can be purchased online through Amazon.
- Butterfly and McCormick are two most commonly available ube extracts in the United States.
- Cow's milk or oat milk is highly recommend. These options allow the ube flavor to pop through.
- You may use soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, etc.
- This sweetened condensed coconut milk is highly recommended. It adds a sweet hint of coconut flavor and creaminess. I purchased this from Whole Foods Market. It is also available at Sprouts or online through Amazon.
- Sweetened condensed milk is another vegan option.
- You may use sweetened condensed milk in place of coconut version.
- Freshly pulled espresso is high recommended. This requires use of an espresso machine or a moka pot.
- For the "instant version": dissolve 1 Tbsp instant coffee in 2 oz hot water.
