02 - 1½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

03 - 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

04 - ½ tsp vanilla extract

05 - Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish

01 - Roast or steam the sweet potato until very soft; let it cool, peel, and cut into chunks.

02 - In a blender, combine sweet potato, milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.

03 - Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat gently over medium-low heat until steaming hot, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.

04 - Pour the latte into mugs. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired. Serve hot.

01 -

The natural sweetness from roasted sweet potato means you barely need any added sugar
It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something you'd wait in line for at a specialty café

02 -

Never skip the step of peeling the sweet potato—those skins create a gritty texture no amount of blending can fix
If your latte seems too thick after blending, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency

03 -

Roast extra sweet potatoes when you're already using the oven—they keep for a week and make future lattes almost instant
Use warm milk straight from the start if you prefer skipping the stovetop reheating step
