    • ½ oz simple syrup
    • Vanilla syrup

In a small pitcher or jar, combine heavy cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and sea salt. Froth with a handheld frother until thick and slowly pourable.

Step 3: Build the latte

Fill a glass with ice. Pour in the ube milk, then add the espresso shots on top. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
