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)
- Ice (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel the ripe banana and gather the whole milk, cold water, sugar, salt, and optional vanilla extract to have all ingredients ready in one place for blending.
- Blend Mixture: Add the banana, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, ensuring no banana chunks remain.
- Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blended banana milk. If the banana isn’t very ripe or the sweetness is too mild, add a little more sugar to suit your preference and blend briefly again.
- Serve: Pour the Korean Banana Milk over a glass filled with ice. Serve immediately for a cold, refreshing drink. Optionally enjoy with matcha for an added flavor twist.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
- The vanilla extract enhances the flavor but can be omitted if you prefer a purer banana taste.
- Adjust the sugar quantity depending on the ripeness of the banana and your sweetness preference.
- Whole milk creates a creamier texture, but you can substitute with any milk of your choice.
- Serving over ice is key to enjoying it chilled and refreshing.
- For a vegan version, substitute whole milk with plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
