Ingredients

2 very ripe bananas
480 ml cold milk
1 tbsp honey or sugar
a few drops vanilla extract (optional)
Ice (optional)

Method

Break the bananas into the blender, add the milk, honey and vanilla.
Blend on high for 1 minute, until completely smooth and frothy.
Taste and add a little more honey if your bananas were not very ripe.
Pour over ice and drink straight away, before it starts to separate.

Tips

For a more intense, bottled flavour, simmer one sliced banana with 60 ml water and 4 tbsp sugar for 8 min, strain, and stir this syrup into the milk.
Oat or soy milk works for a dairy-free version.
