Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For Syrup (Yields around 4 Servings)
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Latte Assembly (1 Serving)
  • 2 shots espresso or 4 oz strong coffee
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • ice
For the Topping
  • 3 tbsp double cream heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp caramel flavored syrup
  • cinnamon powder garnish, optional
  • banana slices garnish, optional

Method
 

  1. Mash the banana. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, mashed banana, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat until thick (5-7 min). Turn off heat and add vanilla extract. Cool completely.
  2. Pour the cooled mixture into a blender and blend until perfectly smooth. Store remaining syrup in the fridge.
  3. Combine double cream and caramel flavored syrup. Froth until thick and airy. Set aside.
  4. Combine 2 tbsp of the prepared syrup with espresso in a pitcher.
  5. Fill a glass with ice. Pour milk into the glass.
  6. Pour the coffee-syrup mixture over the milk.
  7. Pour the caramel cream foam on top. Garnish with cinnamon and banana slices.

Notes

Ensure the syrup is fully cooled before blending and mixing. If you prefer a much sweeter drink, you can use 3 tablespoons of banana bread syrup, but start with 2.
