Banana Milk Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup cold water
- 1½ tsp granulated sugar (or to taste)
- a pinch of salt (to balance out the sweetness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
- Ice (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather the ripe banana, milk, cold water, sugar, pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and ice. Ensure the banana is ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- Blend Mixture: Add the banana, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, ensuring even consistency without lumps.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blended banana milk and add a little more sugar if your banana isn’t very ripe or if you prefer a sweeter drink. Blend again briefly to combine.
- Serve with Ice: Pour the banana milk over a glass filled with ice cubes to chill the drink and enjoy cold. This beverage pairs wonderfully with matcha for a unique flavor twist.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Adjust the sweetness according to taste by adding more or less sugar.
- Vanilla extract enhances flavor but is optional.
- Whole milk gives a rich texture; for a lighter version, substitute with low-fat or plant-based milk.
- Blend thoroughly to achieve a smooth, frothy consistency.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and freshness.
