Banana Syrup for Coffee and Lattes
This banana syrup is made with real bananas and brown sugar for a rich, cozy flavor that tastes like banana bread. Perfect for coffee and lattes, this syrup adds a sweet, comforting touch to your favorite drinks.
Equipment
- small saucepan
- sieve or fine mesh strainer
- heat proof spatula
Ingredients
- 3 small ripe bananas (18 ounces) peeled and sliced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1¼ cup water
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once the mixture reaches a simmer, cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn't burn.
- Pour the mixture into a fine mesh sieve over a bowl. Use a spatula to press the mixture into the sieve to get all the syrup you can. There will be a lot of banana pulp leftover.
- Toss the banana pulp or use in a different recipe and transfer the banana syrup to an airtight container or jar.
- Store in the fridge for 1 week. To make a latte, add 1 to 3 tablespoons of banana syrup to a cup, then top with espresso and steamed milk.
