Korean Banana Milk is a deliciously creamy and naturally sweet beverage made from ripe bananas, whole milk, and a hint of vanilla. This refreshing drink is quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a nutritious snack or a delightful treat to enjoy chilled over ice.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1½ tsp granulated sugar (or to taste)
  • a pinch of salt (to balance out the sweetness)
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste (optional, but recommended)
  • Ice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather one large ripe banana, whole milk, cold water, granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and vanilla bean paste if using. Make sure the banana is ripe for maximum sweetness.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add the banana, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla bean paste to a blender. Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, ensuring a velvety texture.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the banana milk and adjust the sweetness by adding a little more sugar if your banana isn’t very ripe or if you prefer it sweeter.
  4. Serve: Pour the blended banana milk over a glass filled with ice cubes to enjoy it cold. Optionally, serve it with matcha for an extra flavor twist.

  • Whole milk provides a creamy texture, but you can substitute with any milk of your choice.
  • Vanilla bean paste enhances the flavor but is optional.
  • Adjust sugar to taste depending on the ripeness of the banana.
  • Best served immediately over ice for a refreshing drink.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours but may separate; shake before serving.
