Taro Latte

The first time that I tried to make latte was from Miki's Pantry http://www.mikispantry.com/2012/11/how-to-make-taro-latte.html. Instead of milk however, I used almond milk as substitute. I often use maple syrup as substitute too. Just blend the taro, milk, and syrup together into a blender machine then garnish with pine nuts. Overall it gives off a delicious, nutty and sweet flavor; thus, suited to be a wonderful winter beverage to warm up your heart and soul! Yum


Serve: 2 persons
Time: Approximately 10 minutes

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cups Taro
- 2 cup Almond milk
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- Pine nuts


Directions
Cut taro into cubed sized pieces. To soften the taro, pour water into a small pot and wait until boiled. Once boiled, put in the taro pieces and once they become soft and tender, drain, then begin mashing the taro.

In a blender, pour the taro pieces, milk and maple syrup inside and blend until smooth (2-3 mins). Once finished, pour the ingredients into a cup and garnish it with pine nuts.




*Note: You may also bake taro until tender (220 degrees F) for about 20-25 minutes until soft. (Usually I wrap taro (pieces of taro) in aluminum foil and place it on a rack inside my conventional oven, which makes it bake faster than baking it without the wrap)…but I think it's unnecessary since that would take twice as long for a simple latte...
