Instructions
- Prepare ripe banana safely: use clean trimmed fruit, food-grade syrup or prepared dairy, as appropriate.
- Blend or whisk the signature ingredient with cold milk and sugar until the sweetener dissolves.
- Add ice and blend in short bursts until evenly chilled without over-aerating.
- For this original cocoa adaptation, add 10 g unsweetened cocoa powder to the prepared base and stir or blend until evenly dispersed; if it is a spice or chopped solid, hydrate, infuse or melt it in the warm phase, then strain if necessary.
- Divide between two chilled glasses and serve immediately.
Tips
- Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
