Ingredients for Banana Milk From Yemen

  • 2-3 ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar (or to taste)
  • Vanilla Extract

How to Make Banana Milk From Yemen

  1. Peel the bananas and place them in a blender.
  2. Add the milk (whole milk is recommended for creaminess, but any type works).
  3. Add the desired amount of honey or sugar (start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust to taste).
  4. Blend all ingredients on high speed until completely smooth and creamy (this should take about 30-60 seconds).
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  6. Pour into glasses and serve immediately to prevent the bananas from browning. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
