  • Its naturally sweet from the roasted sweet potatoes so you can skip added sugar entirely
  • The creamy texture feels indulgent but its actually quite wholesome and filling
02 -
  • Blending while the sweet potato is still hot can create pressure in your blender so let it cool slightly first
  • Do not skip the straining step if you want perfectly smooth texture any tiny lumps will feel disappointing in the final drink
03 -
  • Roast several sweet potatoes at once and keep the extras in the refrigerator for quick lattes throughout the week
  • If the mixture seems too thick add warm milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency
