Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato

Prep Time 8 minutes
Total Time 8 minutes
Servings: 1 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons ube halaya or ube jam
  • 1 cup coconut milk canned or carton
  • 1 tablespoon condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ube extract
  • 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
  • 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee cooled
  • Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a blender or mixing cup, combine the ube halaya, coconut milk, condensed milk, and ube extract. Whisk or blend until completely smooth and the mixture is a uniform purple color.
  2. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  3. Pour the ube coconut mixture over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.
  4. Slowly pour the espresso or cooled strong coffee over the back of a spoon held just above the drink, allowing it to cascade over the top and create layers.
  5. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes and serve immediately with a straw, stirring before drinking to combine all the flavors.
