Equipment: Blender, coffee percolator (optional), strainer (optional)
Servings: 2
Instructions:
1. Begin by peeling and breaking the bananas into three or four pieces each.

5. Sprinkle in the cinnamon powder and add the vanilla essence.
6. Drizzle in the honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetness.
7. Pour the cooled coffee over the banana and milk mixture.
8. Add a generous amount of ice to the blender.
9. Blend the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
10. If preferred, strain the blend to remove the frothy top, ensuring a smooth drink.
11. Pour the banana iced coffee into glasses, garnishing with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick if you like.
12. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing blast of this banana-infused icy treat.
Cooking Tips:
- If the drink is too thick, add more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- For an extra chill, freeze banana pieces before blending.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to taste.
