Kim Dae-seok's Sweet Potato Syrup

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• The skin of sweet potatoes is packed with nutrients—do not peel them. Wash thoroughly and use whole to preserve flavor and nutrition.
• Soak rice malt syrup in water for at least 30 minutes before grinding to ensure maximum release of fermented enzymes.
• Use a tightly woven cloth when straining—the juice may turn cloudy and grainy if a coarse bag is used due to sweet potato residue.
• During the final 30 minutes, viscosity increases rapidly; constant, careful stirring is essential to prevent scorching.
