SKIP THE COFFEE RUN.
BANANA BREAD IN A GLASS.
Blend a banana into your latte. It tastes like dessert.
Here’s the move. Mash half a ripe banana. Stir in a little cinnamon and vanilla. That’s your syrup.
Pour it over ice. Add two shots of espresso. Top with cold milk. It tastes exactly like a slice of banana bread. I made one this morning. I get the hype now.
Why does everyone love it? It’s free. No coffee-shop syrup, no five-dollar order. Just a banana you were about to toss anyway.
The trick is the ripe banana. Brown and spotty is perfect. That’s all the sweetness you need. In other words… the browner, the better. Try it iced first.
