What it is
What ube is
Purple yam, dried and milled. The violet in a batter or a drink is that yam.
The yam
Ube is purple yam. The shop sells that yam dried and milled, and it sells mixes that already have the flavour in the bag.
The plant is Dioscorea alata. The flavour in the mixes comes from that yam. Plants of the World Online.
Yam
How it tastes
Gently sweet. A little roasted.
The violet is the yam. Start small, then taste.
A drink
On this site
Dirty ube latte
Cold milk, then espresso. It uses the powder, not the latte mix.
Ube Latte Mix is the bag with the method already on the pack.
The powder
Ube Powder is the bag you use yourself. Whisk it into a little hot water until it is smooth. Stir that into a batter, or into milk. Taste, then add more if you want it stronger.
- Ube Cake Mix is for a cake.
- Ube Waffle Mix is for a waffle iron.
- Ube Cookie Mix is for cookies.
A mix already has the flavour in the bag. Empty it, add the wet ingredients on the pack, then bake.
Which bag
Buy the powder when you are flavouring a batter or a drink you already make. Buy a mix when you want the flavour in the bag and a method on the pack. The price beside each bag is the current shop price.
