Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather one large ripe banana, whole milk, cold water, granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract if using. Have your ice ready for serving.
  2. Blend Mixture: Add the banana, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla to a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, ensuring the banana is fully pureed.
  3. Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Taste the banana milk and add a little more sugar if the banana isn’t as ripe or sweet as desired. Blend briefly again to mix in additional sugar.
  4. Serve: Pour the banana milk over a glass filled with ice cubes to chill it thoroughly. Enjoy immediately for the best refreshing taste, optionally pairing it with matcha or other beverages.

Notes

  • Use a very ripe banana for the sweetest and creamiest flavor.
  • Adjust sugar based on banana ripeness and personal preference.
  • Vanilla extract is optional but adds depth to the flavor.
  • Serve over ice for a refreshing cold drink.
  • Can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
