Recipe: Banana Bread Matcha Latte

🍌 A homemade banana bread-inspired syrup, poured into an iced matcha latte that’s smooth, creamy, and just a little indulgent.

Ingredients

Banana Bread Syrup

• 1 cup water

• 1 ripe banana (mashed)

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 2 cinnamon sticks

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

Banana Cold Foam

• 1 tbsp milk

• 2 tbsp whipping cream

• 1-2 tbsp banana bread syrup

Matcha latte

• 3 g Pluck Matcha

• 30g hot water (80°C)

• 1 tbsp banana bread syrup

• ½ cup ice

• ½ cup of your preferred milk

Directions: 

1. In a medium saucepan, add all the ingredients for the banana bread syrup. 

2. Simmer on medium-low heat for about 5-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

3. Allow the syrup to cool for about 10 minutes, then strain out the solids. Transfer the syrup into an air-tight container. The syrup can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.

4. In a separate glass, add 1 tablespoon of milk, 2 tablespoons of whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of your banana bread syrup. Use a milk frother until foamy; this typically takes 1-2 minutes.

5. Sift 3 g of Pluck Matcha and add 30g of hot water (80°C). Use a matcha whisk until frothy.

6. To assemble the drink, use 1 tablespoon of banana bread syrup. Fill ¾ of the cup with ice and your preferred milk.

7. Pour over your whisked matcha.

8. Finish with the foam top and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
