Ingredients

¼ C ube halaya jam
½ C whole milk or non-dairy alternative
ice
2 shots espresso or ½ C brewed coffee
whipped cream optional

Instructions

Combine ¼ C Ube Halaya Jam with ½ C milk in a jar and heat in the microwave until warmed through. (Alternatively, you can heat the mixture in a small saucepan on the stove).
Give the ube milk mixture a stir to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the ube milk into a tall glass.
Top with ice.
Pour espresso/coffee over the ice and garnish with whipped cream (optional).
Stick in a straw, give it a stir and enjoy immediately.
Note: if you find the ube milk mixture a little too thick for your liking, add a little more milk.

Notes

Add a splash of vanilla extract or coconut extract for additional flavor.

You can reduce the amount of ube halaya jam if you prefer a stronger coffee flavor.
