How to make it

The first thing you want to do is scrub and clean your sweet potatoes.

Then slice them into small circles as shown below.

Try to make them more or less the same thickness so they’ll cook at the same rate.

Put the sweet potatoes, sugar, cinnamon stick, whole cloves and water in a pot. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. Add the vanilla extract and remove from heat.

Serve the sweet potatoes in a bowl with some of the liquid. Add a splash of milk to the bowl.

And enjoy!
