# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The natural sweetness means you can skip refined sugar entirely and still feel like youre drinking dessert
  • It comes together in under half an hour but tastes like something youd pay seven dollars for at a fancy coffee shop
02 -
  • Dont skip the blending step—smooth texture is what makes this feel like a latte instead of baby food
  • Heating gently is crucial because boiling can cause the milk to separate and change the entire mouthfeel
03 -
  • Roast several sweet potatoes at once and store the extras in the fridge for quick lattes throughout the week
  • If your blender struggles with the mixture, add the milk gradually rather than all at once
