Ingredients

1 shot of hot espresso or strong brewed coffee  3/4 cup milk of your choice  2 tbsp ripe banana, thoroughly mashed  1 tsp maple syrup or brown sugar  A pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg powder

Step 1

Whisk the milk, mashed banana, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the banana and spices to infuse into the milk, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any pulp.

Step 3

Froth the strained, spiced milk using a hand frother or blender until it develops a light, velvety foam.

Step 4

Pour the hot espresso into your mug, top with the warm frothed milk, and finish with a light dusting of cinnamon.
