Cold Brew & Banana, in a beverage from New York!

31/10/2019
by coffees.gr

A beverage that successfully combines two modern trends in gastronomy.

The trends in the field of gastronomy come and go. Undoubtedly, one of the gastronomic trends we have been experiencing in recent years is a return to a healthy or even vegan diet, utilizing all kinds of fruits and vegetables, often in unexpected combinations. At the same time, especially on the other side of the Atlantic, the coffee that monopolizes the trendy and hip public is undoubtedly Cold Brew. What would happen if one were to marry Cold Brew Mania with the growing demand for fruit?

That's how the baristi of the J&B Design Café in Brooklyn, New York, had to think of when they came up with a new drink that combined the acidity and intensity of cold brew coffee with the sweetness and dense texture of ripe banana. This is how the banana milk latte was born, a hybrid beverage that quickly won the hearts of New Yorkers, who began flocking to J&B to try it.

The combination of banana and coffee flavors will no doubt excite everyone, but the resulting drink combines the necessary dose of fruit with the caffeine kick we need every morning, making it perfect for breakfast. However, we do not have to run all the way to Brooklyn to try it, as it is very easy to prepare at home as long as we have a blender.

 

What do you need for a Banana Milk Coffee?

  • A very ripe banana
  • A cup of milk
  • 150 ml  Cold Brew
  • Simple Syrop at will

 

How is Banana Milk Coffee?

  • In a blender, beat the banana with milk, adding a little syrup
  • In a  glass of Cold Brew, pour the banana mixture.
  • Serve, optionally, with a little whipped cream.

 

Tips for easy and delicious Banana Milk Coffee

  • The banana we use should be very ripe but not tanned. You can remove the black spots with a knife.
  • No sugar is needed as the banana sweetens our drink quite a bit. However, a tablespoon of syrup enhances the flavor and improves the texture.
  • You can brew our own Cold Brew coffee as we please, following the steps we will find here.
  • For a vegan version of the drink, replace the milk with almond or coconut milk
  • Prefer 100% Arabica coffee, which will give Cold Brew a bright acidity, which will counteract the sweetness and dense banana.
  • The drink can also be prepared in its hot version, replacing the Cold Brew with a double espresso. As the coffee will be only 60-70ml, adjust the amounts of other ingredients accordingly.

 

If you are looking for a drink that will wake you up and give you the energy you need to start your day, then Banana Milk Coffee is for you! Dust the Blender, prepare the Cold Brew, let the bananas ripen and start your day in the best and most delicious way.
