# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The natural sweetness from roasted sweet potato means you barely need any added sugar
  • It feels like a warm hug but takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish
02 -
  • Blending thoroughly is non-negotiable—any texture from the potato will ruin the silky experience
  • Never let the milk boil or it will develop an unpleasant film that affects the entire drink
03 -
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to brighten all the flavors without making it taste salty
  • For extra decadence, top with a swirl of whipped cream and crushed honey-roasted nuts
