Taro Paste
After years of missing taro milk tea, I've finally made the taro paste at home to freeze so I can have taro milk tea whenever I please!
Ingredients
- 1 small taro root peeled and diced (about 3 cups once cubed)
- 2 small/medium purple fleshed sweet potatoes peeled and diced (about 1.5 cups once cubed)
- ½ cup sugar*
- ~1 cup plant-based milk I used soy, but you can use coconut for more richness, add more if needed for your blender/food processor
Instructions
- Steam taro root and sweet potatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until they are fork tender. I used a steamer basket, but any steaming apparatus works.
- Transfer the steamed taro and sweet potato to a blender or food processor and add sugar and plant-based milk, and blend until smooth. If you need to add more liquid for the mixture to blend, add as needed.
- Transfer to an ice cube tray and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen until needed!

Notes
*I prefer to stick on the lower side of sweetness and adjust to your liking when making your taro milk drinks
