SWEET POTATO LATTE (NO COFFEE)

A popular autumn and winter drinks – Korean sweet potato latte recipe!

Today i will share to you  a delicious drink recipe , sweet potato latte is prepared in a very similar way to my pumpkin spice latte. Sweet potato is steam cooked then blended with some milk. Finally, the blended mixture is heated with some sweetener. To some degree I think even the flavour resembles the pumpkin spice latte without all the spices.
