{"product_id":"ube-syrup","title":"Ube Syrup","description":"\u003cp\u003eUbe is having a moment, and we get it. The Philippine purple yam delivers two things at once — a stunning natural purple hue that turns any drink into something Instagram-worthy, plus a flavor that's harder to describe than expected: think creamy vanilla with a toasted, nutty finish and a subtle earthiness that keeps it from being one-note. It's tropical without tasting like fruit punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStir half an ounce into a latte and watch your morning oat milk turn purple before your eyes. Whip it into cold foam for a matcha or coffee topper that looks like art. Splash it into a daiquiri or mojito for a tropical cocktail with a stunning color story.

The flavor is hard to compare to anything Western — most people describe it as a cross between vanilla and toasted coconut, with a subtle nuttiness and earthy edge. It's sweeter and more dessert-leaning than taro (which is often confused with ube), and it's most famous for its vivid natural purple color, which makes it photograph beautifully in lattes and cocktails. If you've had ube ice cream, ube halaya, or ube cake, you know the flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is ube the same as taro?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No, but they're often confused. Both are root vegetables with mild, slightly sweet flavors, but they're different plants. Ube is a purple yam native to Southeast Asia with a deep purple color and a creamier, vanilla-leaning flavor. Taro is grayer or white-pink with darker purple specks, and tastes more starchy and earthier than ube. In drinks, ube is sweeter and more dessert-leaning; taro is more subtle and closer to a savory root. Our syrup uses ube specifically — for the color and the flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What does ube syrup taste like in drinks?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Our ube syrup features a creamy vanilla profile with toasted, nutty notes and a subtle earthy finish.
