Ingredients
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
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather the ripe banana, whole milk, cold water, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Using ripe bananas will give the best natural sweetness.
- Blend the Mixture: Add the banana, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the banana milk and add a little more sugar if the banana isn’t sweet enough to your preference. Blend again briefly if you add sugar.
- Serve Chilled: Pour the banana milk over ice cubes in glasses to enjoy cold. Optionally, try it with a sprinkle of matcha powder for a unique twist.
Notes
- Ripe bananas work best for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Whole milk creates a richer flavor; substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust sugar based on your banana’s ripeness and personal taste preferences.
- Vanilla extract enhances the flavor but is optional.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
- Adding ice chills the drink without diluting the flavor too much when served.
