Step 1
Whisk the hot water, instant coffee, and sugar in a bowl. Use an electric mixer to whip everything together until it becomes thick and creamy. Once the coffee mixture is fluffy, add in the banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then give it another quick mix to combine.
Step 2
Fill a glass with some milk and toss in a handful of ice cubes. Finally, spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top and enjoy your refreshing banana-flavored iced coffee!
Serving Options To Try
Serve over ice with a few banana slices on top for extra flair. Pair it with a light snack like biscotti or a simple almond cookie to balance the sweetness. It’s also great as a mid-afternoon treat or brunch beverage.
Storing This Dish
If you have leftover whipped coffee, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The banana-flavored milk base is best made fresh but can be kept refrigerated for up to two days. Stir gently before serving.
