  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Espresso

  • 2 shots (2 fl oz) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee

Banana Bread Flavor Base

  • 1 small ripe banana
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Milk

  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) whole milk or plant-based milk such as oat, almond, or soy

Ice & Toppings

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish
  • Crushed walnuts, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend Banana Bread Base: Add the ripe banana, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and milk into a blender. Process these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully homogeneous, creating a flavorful banana milk base.
  2. Prepare Glasses: Fill two tall glasses evenly with ice cubes to chill the drink and prepare for assembly.
  3. Pour Banana-Milk Mixture: Divide the blended banana milk mixture evenly between the two ice-filled glasses, providing a cool, rich base layer for the latte.
  4. Add Espresso: Carefully pour one shot (1 fl oz) of freshly brewed espresso into each glass, balancing the strong coffee flavor with the creamy banana mixture.
  5. Combine and Garnish: Stir gently to integrate the espresso with the banana milk blend, ensuring a harmonious flavor. Optionally, top each latte with whipped cream, a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg, and crushed walnuts for added texture and flavor.
  6. Serve: Present the lattes immediately with a straw to enjoy the optimal texture and temperature of this refreshing, flavorful iced beverage.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with oat, almond, or soy milk.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the best depth of flavor, but strong brewed coffee can be a suitable alternative.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar depending on the ripeness of the banana and personal preference.
  • The crushed walnuts add a nice crunch but can be omitted if you prefer a smoother texture or have allergies.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and taste before the ice dilutes the drink.
