Equipment

  • Fork (for mashing)
  • Medium saucepan
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Glass jar or airtight container (for storing syrup)
  • Tall serving glass

Ingredients
  

Banana Bread Syrup
  • 2 overly ripe bananas mashed with a fork
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
For the Iced Latte
  • 2 tbsp banana bread syrup or to taste
  • Ice
  • 6 to 8 oz milk of choice
  • 1 to 2 shots brewed espresso

Instructions
 

  • Mash the two overly ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the mashed bananas, brown sugar, white sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, pinch of salt, and water to a medium saucepan set over medium heat.
  • Stir everything together, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes until thickened and fragrant.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl or jar, pressing lightly on the solids to extract all the syrup. Stir the vanilla bean paste into the warm strained syrup until fully combined, then let it cool completely to room temperature.
  • To assemble the latte, pour two tablespoons of the cooled banana bread syrup into the bottom of a tall serving glass. Fill the glass generously with fresh ice cubes. Pour in your milk of choice, leaving a little room at the top, and pour one to two freshly brewed shots of espresso over the milk. Stir well to combine the sweet banana syrup with the espresso and milk, and serve immediately.

Notes

Nutritional info above is for each TBSP of syrup. This recipe yields approximately 16 to 20 tablespoons (1 to 1¼ cups) of banana bread syrup, which is enough for about 8 to 10 iced lattes at 2 tablespoons per drink.
The final yield can vary slightly depending on how much liquid evaporates during the 15-minute simmer and how firmly you press the banana solids through the fine-mesh strainer.
The nutritional value of your specific drink will depend on the milk you use and how much.
