1 ripe banana
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut cream
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
Ice cubes
Whipped cream (optional)
Banana slices for garnish (optional)
Prepare the Coffee: Brew a cup of espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool slightly to prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
Blend the Banana Cream: In a blender, combine the ripe banana, milk, heavy cream, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled coffee over the ice, then add the banana cream mixture on top. Stir gently to combine.
Optional Garnishes: Top with whipped cream and garnish with banana slices for an extra touch of indulgence.
