    Our local asian grocery sells an ube extract (similar to vanilla extract). You can mix that in your milk directly before steaming for color and flavor. I made an ube simple syrup for my wife’s iced lattes.

    Ube is super trendy in the US right now, seen it in at least a dozen coffee shops, it Instagrams well since people love purple.

      Ok, that’s interesting to know. I would like to try it, to see what it tastes like. In OP’s picture it looks like the ube is not mixed in the milk, but in fact mixed with the espresso, as the white of the milk is visible between the purple of the espresso/ube?
