Korean sweet potato latte is one of the most popular fall/winter drinks in Korea. 

It has a velvety smooth texture and has a slightly sweet and a tint of savory taste. While subtle, its roasted sweet potato fragrance will give you a warm and cozy feeling!

WHAT IS SWEET POTATO LATTE

Sweet potato latte is a popular Korean drink made with roasted (or steamed) sweet potato, milk and a little bit of sweetener.

Many of the sweet potato lattes served in Korea are made with purple flesh sweet potatoes. They call this Jasaek Goguma Latte (자색 고구마 라떼).
