Originally spotted in Korean 7-Elevens, banana-infused coffees have been all over TikTok and Instagram. I’ve seen sooo many versions of the viral banana milk latte lately, so I had to try it out myself! I wish I could try one IRL, but instead, I’ll have to be happy with my homemade version…
A lot of the versions I saw use pre-packaged banana milk that you can grab at a store like H-Mart, but I made mine completely from scratch using lightly caramelized bananas, whole milk (don’t judge me), and some fresh stovetop espresso, inspired by a recipe from Audrey Leonard (aka @redcurrantbakery) with almost two million views.
P.S. You can use this fruit milk technique with other kinds of fruit! Strawberry milk? Yes, please. Blueberry? Wild, but could be delicious! Mango milk? Okay, I’ll stop with the ideas here.
Step 1: Make the caramelized bananas!
Step 2: Blend the bananas into the milk

Step 3: Add any other flavorings you like
Step 4: Make your espresso shots
Step 5: Add ice and serve!
The verdict: five out of five stars!!! Overall, I thought this was a great coffee shop-level drink to make at home and much cheaper than an $8 latte with tip.
It’s super easy and adaptable since you can use cold brew if you don’t have espresso, tweak the add-ins, etc., and I love the banana and coffee flavor combo. I will totally be trying this method with some other fruits, especially strawberries!
