Delicious Banana Milk Coffee Recipe Variations
That is the basic recipe, but you can customize it as much as you’d like! Here are some tips to get you started:
Sweetener
Our recipe uses a little honey because it’s so tasty with bananas. But you can use regular white or brown sugar instead — or try something else, like agave or Stevia. Another option? Skip the sweeteners altogether! Bananas naturally have a little sugar in them, so your coffee will still be slightly sweet.
Coffee
We love using cold brew in our banana milk coffee because it’s so mellow and convenient. You can make it ahead and enjoy your coffee drinks effortlessly all week! Plus, the rich, mellow flavor works especially well with banana milk. But you can use cooled espresso shots or regular brewed coffee if you’d like. Why not experiment and see what you prefer?
Ice
Any old ice will do for this drink, but we do have one big suggestion: up your iced coffee game by starting a stockpile of coffee ice cubes! Make an extra-large batch of cold brew and pour some of it into an ice cube tray. Leave it in the freezer for the next day’s coffee — and thank us later!
Final Thoughts
Banana milk coffee may sound a little strange, but trust us: it’s delicious! You only need a few inexpensive ingredients to make this satisfying, well-rounded iced banana milk coffee drink. Creamy, slightly sweet, and plenty caffeinated, it’s a delightful way to start your day.
