Banana Milk Coffee Recipe

Introduction

Banana Milk Coffee is a comforting and unique twist on your regular cup of coffee. Combining the natural sweetness of ripe banana with the warmth of cinnamon and smooth milk, this drink offers a flavorful start to your day or a cozy afternoon treat.

Ingredients

• 6.7 fluid ounces (200ml) freshly brewed strong hot coffee
• 8.4 fluid ounces (250ml) semi skimmed milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 very ripe banana
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus extra for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Mash the banana in a bowl with the sugar until smooth with few lumps. Transfer to a saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the banana mixture is heated through. Gradually add half of the milk, warming until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon.
2. Step 2: Pour the banana milk into a blender and blend until completely smooth, gradually adding the remaining milk. Using a high-power blender is best to eliminate lumps.
3. Step 3: Pour the hot brewed coffee into two mugs and top each with the banana milk mixture. If you don’t have a high-power blender, strain the banana milk through a sieve while pouring. Finish with an optional dusting of cinnamon on top.

Tips & Variations

• For a creamier texture, use whole milk or add a splash of cream instead of semi skimmed milk.
• You can substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
• If you prefer a cold version, chill the banana milk and coffee separately before combining over ice.
• Add a dash of vanilla extract to the banana milk for extra flavor.

Storage

Banana milk coffee is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store the banana milk mixture separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave before adding to freshly brewed coffee. Avoid storing the finished drink mixed as the texture can change.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use instant coffee for this recipe?

Yes, instant coffee can be used if brewed strong and hot, but freshly brewed coffee tends to give a richer flavor for this recipe.

What if I don’t have a blender?

If you don’t have a blender, mash the banana very well and use a sieve to strain the banana milk mixture to remove lumps before adding it to coffee.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Banana Base: Mash the ripe banana with the sugar in a bowl until smooth with minimal lumps. Transfer this mixture to a saucepan set over low heat. Stir gently until the sugar fully dissolves and the banana mixture is heated through.
2. Heat the Milk: Gradually pour in half of the milk into the saucepan with the banana mixture, stirring continuously until the milk starts to steam. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cinnamon to incorporate the spice evenly.
3. Blend the Banana Milk: Pour the hot banana milk mixture into a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth while slowly adding the remaining milk. This ensures a lump-free, creamy texture. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, strain the milk through a sieve to remove lumps before serving.
4. Assemble the Drink: Divide the freshly brewed strong hot coffee evenly between two mugs. Top each with the warm, blended banana milk.
5. Garnish and Serve: For an extra aromatic touch, dust a little cinnamon on top of each mug. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this unique coffee experience.

Notes

• Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness and easier blending.
• Semi-skimmed milk balances creaminess and lightness, but you can substitute with your preferred milk type.
• The cinnamon powder adds warming spice; adjust quantity to taste or omit if preferred.
• For smoothest texture, a high-power blender is recommended; alternatively, strain the milk before serving.
• This recipe serves two generous cups.
• Consume promptly for best taste and texture as the banana milk may thicken upon standing.
