Ingredients
Scale
2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons banana bread syrup (see notes)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Ice cubes
Optional: Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
Prepare the banana bread syrup first, if making from scratch.
In a shaker or tall glass, combine the chilled espresso or coffee, milk, banana bread syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Stir or shake well to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Fill a serving glass completely with ice cubes.
Pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
Top with whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
To make a quick banana bread syrup: Combine 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes, mash banana pieces, then strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. Cool before use.
For a dairy-free option, use oat milk or almond milk.
If you prefer a stronger banana flavor without making syrup, blend 1 tablespoon of very ripe mashed banana directly into the milk and coffee mixture before shaking.
