Viral Korean Cold Weather Goguma Latte
Korean Sweet Potato Latte, or goguma latte, 고구마 라떼 is a creamy Korean drink popular in cafe menus all around the country. This is a cozy drink popular with kids and adults made by blending sweet potatoes, milk, sweetener, and sometimes with extras like cinnamon or nuts. It’s called a latte because it’s made with milk, but usually has no coffee or tea. Some people will add a shot of espresso in the morning, which I think will also be amazing! After trying this, I can definitely see why people drink this every year in Korea.
I found these roasted sweet potatoes at the super market today that are absolutely delicious!. Sometimes I air fry them myself at home, but the ones that they roast at the grocery stores are so delicious. I’ve been seeing these sweet potato latte all over the internet. So, I wanted to try making it today. It’s super super easy, all you need to do is blend and microwave!

Roasted Sweet Potatoes
The heart of this drink is that fluffy Roasted or Steamed Sweet Potatoes you can find at Asian grocery stores. This variety isn’t the sweet potatoes you typically find at Thanksgiving dinner. Instead, this is an Asian variety also known as Satsumaimo in Japanese or Goguma in Korean. It typically is more pale yellow-white inside, and has a more chestnut-like flavor. Packed with high content of natural sugars and starches, these sweet potatoes help you stay full longer. And, they also contain dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene, making them a great gut-healthy snack on its own. You can also try this drink with the sweet potato more common in Canada and America we all know so well!
