Okay but seriously—how is something THIS tiny, THIS cute, and THIS good?! Welcome to your new favorite afternoon obsession: the mini matcha latte with taro milk and a dreamy ube whip. She's tiny, she's trendy, and she's got main character energy.
If matcha and dessert had a baby, and that baby was extra with a capital E, this would be it. Let’s break it down because YES, you’re gonna wanna try this.
The vibe: tiny, dreamy, dessert-y
This little latte is giving:
Major aesthetic energy (yes, post it on your story immediately)
Sweet but not too sweet—just the right balance of earthy matcha, creamy taro, and that hint of ube on top
Perfect pick-me-up for that 3pm slump when you’re over your to-do list but not quite ready to nap
Miniature moment (because tiny drinks are objectively cuter and I don’t make the rules)
What You’ll Need
Here’s the super simple (and slightly bougie) lineup:
2.5g matcha powder (make it a good one, we’re going for smooth not bitter)
30ml hot water (not boiling! think 175°F or ~80°C)
90ml taro milk (I got mine from H-Mart and honestly it slaps)
Ube whip topping:
1 tbsp vegan whipping cream
A drop of ube extract
A little agave syrup (optional – skip if your taro milk is already sweet)
How to make it
Whisk your matcha like it’s your full-time job. 2.5g matcha + 30ml hot water = a smooth, frothy green base. Use a matcha whisk if you have one, or a milk frother in a pinch.
Add that taro milk (cold or warmed—up to you!). It's creamy, purple, and the ultimate glow-up for your matcha.
Whip the whip! Mix your vegan cream + ube extract (and sweetener if you want) until it’s soft and fluffy. Spoon that purple cloud right on top.
Snap a pic, post it, tag your bestie, then sip and smile. You just made the cutest drink on the internet.
Why you’ll be making this on repeat
It’s giving latte meets dessert energy
It’s totally vegan, totally dreamy
Looks like you got it from a cute café, but you made it in your kitchen (ICONIC)
You get to say “ube whip” out loud, which is just… fun
One last thing...
This isn’t just a drink. It’s a moment. A pastel, creamy, sweet-with-an-earthy-kick kind of moment. So whether you’re looking to impress someone with your ✨beverage game✨ or you just need a little treat to brighten your day—this one’s for you.
BRB, making another 💜🍵
