Butterfly Ube Flavoring Extract 2 oz – Purple Yam Essence for Baking, Lattes, Ice Cream, Jam & Halaya Recipes

Okay I will start this off by saying that I'd previously ordered an ube powder that I wanted to use to make some brownies and what I learned is that the powder is just not rich enough in flavor to really make truly good brownies. So then I found this actual extract and WOW! A totally different story of flavor. I first used this to make an iced ube latte and it came out incredibly good. I all of a sudden had a $10 cafe drink right at home! This extract is highly concentrated and has a beautiful purple hue. The value for the bottle is very reasonable based on the fact that you only have to use a small amount to get a lot of flavor. The taste and texture were phenomenal in the cold drink I made. I will definitely have this as a staple in my home coffee setup and next I'm excited to try it in some baking recipes next! I have a ninja espresso/. Coffee machine and used maybe 1/4 teaspoon in the cold milk frother and it came out delicious. The price is very fair on this item. And overall I will definitely be purchasing this again. My only one callout is that the lid was super difficult for me to open at first but I figured it out.

My son loves Ube flavored stuff and this was perfect for our Ube bread and ice cream. It’s a thicker consistency so a little goes a LONG way. The lid doesn’t click fantastically so be careful if this tips over because this is a VERY dark purple color and will absolutely stain clothing. I’d also get a little string dropper to use this because it’s just a bottle with a dime size hole on top so it’s not easy to add a few drops.

This ube flavoring adds a nice sweet purple yam flavor to drinks and desserts and works well in recipes like lattes, baked goods, and homemade treats. It also gives food a vibrant purple color, which makes everything look more fun and appealing. The flavor is good overall, though I wish it tasted a little stronger and more natural. Still, it’s easy to use, mixes well, and is a convenient option for adding ube flavor at home.

Great color & mild flavor

So my intended use for this product, was to make the ube macchiato that we all know Starbucks has on the menu. So glad I made the purchase , it was a bit tough to open it , you pull the white plastic sticking out and it flips up and closes. Big opening so be careful, it does stain! Be ready with a rag to clean up any messes. A little goes a LONG way. The taste is great, has a nutty sweet smell and flavor. ( I reused my Starbucks cup to make my version at home)

This shouldn’t be labeled as ube flavoring. I tried it in my homemade ube halaya, and it completely changed the flavor. Instead of enhancing the natural ube taste, it tasted sweet potato. I honestly thought it was just me until I finally checked the ingredients and saw that it lists artificial sweet potato flavoring. That explained everything. I grew up with ube literally growing in our backyard, so I can definitely tell the difference between real ube and sweet potato, even before it’s mixed into desserts or baked goods. That’s why I went back to McCormick, which in my experience is much closer to the taste and aroma of real ube.

I love this ube flavoring. The color is very bright— I will warn you it stains when directly touched out of the container— but I’ve baked cookies with it and made cold foams for iced lattes.. once mixed into another ingredient it does fine and won’t stain.. the container may be small but it’s very concentrated so a little goes a long way.. I love the flavor of this and it’s well worth the money.

Versatile! I use it in ube Rice Krispie treats, ube lattes, and ube pan de sal. The flavor and color it provides to these dishes are very balanced and pleasant and you don’t need that much at all. This bottle usually lasts me a year. It does stain surfaces, so make sure to wipe it up while the drops are still wet. I will continue to buy this.

Tasted so good.I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
