Refreshing Iced Sweet Potato Latte
How to Make Iced Sweet Potato Latte / Cool Summer Snack Recipe Using Sweet Potatoes
I’m organizing my freezer! Since my son is no longer living at home, my husband and I manage well with groceries from the refrigerator and our garden. To be honest, I still have plenty of ingredients left that I stocked up on to cook for my son while he was job hunting. While clearing out the freezer lately, I discovered some sweet potatoes I had stored away. I recall baking and freezing some sweet potatoes when organizing a box a few months ago, and miraculously, two perfectly frozen ones remained! By blending these frozen baked sweet potatoes with ice, milk, and honey in a blender, you can easily create a delicious and refreshing iced sweet potato latte with delightful icy bits. It’s a perfect summer snack, and if you’re watching your diet, it makes for a light and satisfying meal replacement.
Ingredients- 2 baked sweet potatoes (small, frozen solid)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 cups milk
- 1 Tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare two small sweet potatoes that have been baked and frozen solid.
Step 2
Rinse the frozen sweet potatoes briefly under running water to remove any frost or surface dust. Then, carefully use a paring knife to peel away the tough skin.
Step 3
Cut the peeled sweet potatoes into smaller pieces that will fit easily into the blender. Be cautious as they are frozen and might be a bit difficult to cut.
Step 4
Place the cut sweet potato pieces into the blender jar. Next, add one cup of ice cubes, using a 200ml measuring cup as a guide.
Step 5
Pour in two cups of milk (approximately 400ml). You can adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired latte consistency.
Step 6
These sweet potatoes we grew are exceptionally sweet, so we’ll only add about one tablespoon of honey to enhance their natural sweetness. Feel free to add more if you prefer a sweeter taste.
Step 7
Secure the lid on the blender and blend until everything is smooth and well combined. Ensure the ice is completely crushed and the sweet potato and milk are uniformly mixed.
Step 8
Pour the smoothly blended iced sweet potato latte into a glass. Enjoy the wonderfully refreshing taste, with its delightful icy texture, creamy sweet potato, and perfect sweetness. It’s an ideal thirst quencher and a healthy dessert for hot summer days.
