Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ripe Banana
  • 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 2 teaspoon Matcha Powder
  • 3 tablespoon hot water
  • cup Oat Milk
  • 1 cup Ice
  • Cinnamon

Equipment

  • 1 Electric Milk Frother
  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Small Saucepan or Skillet
  • 1 Tall, clear glass
  • 1 Spoon

Method
 

  1. Caramelize the bananas: Slice 1 ripe banana into coins. Melt 1 teaspoons butter in a small pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoons cane sugar and 1 pinch of cinnamon, then add banana slices. Cook until golden and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side. Reserve a few slices for garnish and set aside.
  2. Make the banana oat milk: Add most of the caramelized bananas (and any syrupy pan liquid!) to a blender with 1 cups oat milk and 0.3 teaspoons vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. The pan liquid gives your milk that gorgeous golden color.
  3. Whisk the matcha: Add 1 teaspoons Habit matcha powder to a small bowl or cup with 2 tablespoons hot water (about 175°F). (If making two lattes double this) Froth with your electric frother for 20-30 seconds until smooth, combined, and slightly foamy. Set aside.
  4. Build your layers: Add 1 cups ice, then slowly pour the banana oat milk over the ice.
  5. Pour the matcha: Slowly pour the matcha over the back of a spoon on top of the banana oat milk to create a distinct layer.
  6. Froth extra oat milk for topping if desired.
