Banana Latte Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana (preferably overripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 cup milk (any type: dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (high-quality culinary or latte-grade)
- 2-3 tablespoons hot water (to dissolve the matcha powder)
- Sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Banana Base: Peel the ripe banana and place it into your blender. Add your choice of milk and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Dissolve Matcha Powder: In a small cup, measure out the matcha powder. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot water, then whisk thoroughly until the matcha powder is fully dissolved with no lumps remaining.
- Combine the Mixture: Gradually pour the banana milk blend into the cup with the whisked matcha, stirring gently to create a smooth, harmonized latte.
- Choose Serving Temperature: Decide if you prefer your latte hot or cold. Serve immediately either warmed or over ice.
- Enjoy Your Latte: Savor the fresh aroma and creamy texture before sipping your delicious and energizing Banana Matcha Latte.
Notes
- Using overripe bananas enhances the natural sweetness and creaminess of the latte without needing extra sweeteners.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk.
- If you want a stronger matcha flavor, you can increase the matcha powder slightly but be mindful of bitterness.
- Optional sweeteners include honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, or a low-calorie sweetener depending on your preference.
- This recipe serves 2, so adjust ingredients accordingly for larger batches.
