How to use async values from an actor in a Text View in swiftui

Question

I am using xcode 13.3 beta 3 and trying to modify my app to use actors. Since all of my variables are now in an actor(s) so they cannot be accessed directly, how do I use these async values in a Text View? I found one possible solution from the last post for the following link: How can I use async/await with SwiftUI in Swift 5.5?. This was the only way I could find to use an async value in a Text View. The problem with this approach is that by using @State variable, I am required to pass those values in....which I can't do...Any ideas?

struct Forecast: View {
    
    @EnvironmentObject var ws: Webservice
    
    @State var forecast1tempMin = 0


               ....

    VStack {

    Text("\(forecast1tempMin)")
        .foregroundColor(.white)
        .task {
            forecast1tempMin = await ws.forecastActor.getForecast1TempMin()
        }

actor Forecast_Actor {
    @Published var forecast1_tempmin = 0
    
    func setForecast1TempMin(val: Int) async {
        
        forecast1_tempmin = val
    }
    
    func getForecast1TempMin() async -> Int {
        
        return forecast1_tempmin
    }

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text = "Loading"

      // Async function
      func asyncGetText() async -> String {
          try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 3 * NSEC_PER_SEC)
          return "My text"
      }
      
      var body: some View {
          Text(text)
          .task {
               text = await asyncGetText()
          }
      }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}

The original example of how to do this came from @malhal here on stackoverflow. I changed things around a bit to suit my needs. The original issue was how to pass into a swiftui Text() view an async value from an async call. I was trying to pass in an Int and needed to make it a String.

The following solved my problem. Thanks!

@State var forecast1tempMin: String
          ....
var body: some View {
        Text(forecast1tempMin)
           .foregroundColor(.white)
           .task {
                   forecast1tempMin = String(await ws.forecastActor.getForecast1TempMin())
           }
