When the family is in the mood for a cold drink with a different look, this creamy purple yam iced drink is a simple one to make at home. Queen Kitchen’s recipe yields five glasses and gets its color naturally from purple yam, without food coloring.
The method has two main parts: cooking the yam into a thick spread and blending a creamy milk mixture. The drink is assembled with ice and a little extra yam spread, and the video describes it as suitable for family refreshment or as a drink-selling idea.
Ingredients
- 500 gr (g) purple yam, peeled, cut, steamed for about 20 minutes
- 3 sdm (tbsp) granulated sugar
- 100 ml milk
- A pinch of salt
- 500 ml milk
- 4 sdm (tbsp) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 sdm (tbsp) purple yam spread (blended with the milk)
- Ice cubes, as needed
How to Make It
- Steam the purple yam until tender. While it is still warm, mash it until smooth so it is ready to cook into a spread.
- Cook the mashed yam with the sugar, milk, and salt. Keep stirring until the mixture is thick and glossy; that is the texture described for the finished purple yam spread.
- Combine the milk and sweetened condensed milk. Blend them with 1 sdm (tbsp) of the yam spread to make the creamy milk mixture.
- Spread some yam mixture along the inside walls of each glass. Fill the glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour in the creamy milk mixture slowly. Add a spoonful of yam spread on top, then stir and enjoy.
Why This Recipe Works
Purple yam provides the drink’s color, so the recipe does not rely on food coloring. The yam spread also serves more than one purpose: some is blended into the milk mixture, while the rest creates the decoration inside the glasses and on top of the drink.
The sequence is straightforward: steam and mash the yam, cook it into a spread, blend the milk mixture, and assemble the glasses. The description does not call for any specialized equipment; its steps use steaming, cooking, mashing, and blending. The recipe is intended to make five glasses, which makes it an option to prepare for family or to consider as a drink-selling idea, as noted in the video.
Watch the spread as it cooks. The instructions say to keep stirring until it turns thick and glossy, giving you a clear visual cue for this step. When assembling the drink, coating the glass with yam spread adds a decorative layer; filling it with ice and pouring in the creamy mixture completes the serving. Pour slowly to keep the spread visible along the inside of the glass.
