Description
Korean Banana Milk is a creamy and sweet banana-flavored drink made with fresh bananas blended with milk and sweeteners. It is served chilled and can be made with various types of milk, including dairy and plant-based options.
Ingredients
- 3–5 medium overripe bananas (about 7″ long, 3 for the banana milk base and optional 3 for texture)
- 3 2/3 cups milk (can be substituted with oat, almond, or your favorite milk choice)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (use 1 tbsp for a less sweet version or 2 tbsp for a sweeter version)
- 1/3 cup condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Slice 3 medium bananas and place them into a large bowl or measuring cup. Optionally, finely cube 1-2 more bananas to add texture at the end.
- Add 2/3 cup of milk, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4-1/3 cup of condensed milk to the bowl or measuring cup. Optionally, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth and lump-free. Adjust sweetness as needed based on the ripeness of your bananas.
- Pour the banana milk base into a large drink container. Add 3 cups of milk and stir with a spoon to combine. Optionally, mix in the cubed bananas now.
- Chill for a few hours before serving as it’s best served chilled. If you want to drink it immediately, serve it over ice.
- For the blender version, add 3 chopped bananas, 3 2/3 cups milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/3 cup condensed milk, and optional 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into a blender. Blend until smooth. For added texture, stir in the cubed bananas after blending.
