Sweet & Creamy Homemade Sweet Potato Latte Recipe
How to Make a Rich Sweet Potato Latte Using Steamed Sweet Potatoes! A Cozy Home Cafe Recipe
Enjoy this homemade sweet potato latte, crafted with the perfect blend of sweet steamed sweet potatoes and warm milk for a deep, smooth, and comforting flavor.
Key Ingredients
- 160g steamed sweet potato (Using sweet, creamy varieties like ‘Bae’ or ‘Hobak’ sweet potatoes will enhance the flavor)
- 400ml (2 cups) warm milk
- 3 Tbsp honey (adjust to your preference)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder (add more if you enjoy a stronger cinnamon aroma)
- Toasted rice crust (nurungji) or sweet potato chips for topping (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s use some leftover steamed sweet potato for convenience! If you don’t have pre-steamed sweet potatoes, prepare about 160g of raw sweet potato. Peel it thoroughly, then microwave for about 5 minutes or steam until tender. Once cooked and softened, cut the sweet potato into smaller pieces; this will make blending much easier.
Step 2
In a blender or using a hand blender, combine the 160g of steamed sweet potato. Pour in 400ml (2 cups) of warm milk. Add 3 tablespoons of honey for sweetness and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder for that lovely aroma. If you’re a big fan of cinnamon, feel free to add a little extra to boost the fragrance.
Step 3
Now, using your hand blender or a regular blender, blend all the ingredients until they are smooth and creamy. It’s important to blend until there are no lumps and you achieve a silky texture. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Voila! Your delicious sweet potato latte is ready in no time. Carefully pour it into your favorite mug. It’s the perfect warm beverage.
Step 5
This sweet potato latte recipe is proof that you can create a wonderful cafe-style drink with simple ingredients and an easy process. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some crushed toasted rice crust (nurungji) or sweet potato chips on top to add a delightful texture and flavor contrast. It’s a perfect treat for kids’ snacks or a cozy afternoon tea break.
