Equipment

1 milk frother, small blender, or a whisk for the foam

Ingredients

Banana Bread Syrup

1/2 cup dark or light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup water
1 very ripe banana, medium to large size
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon butter extract

Iced Coffee Base

2 shots espresso (2 ½-3 ounces) or 1/3 cup strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon banana syrup

Banana Cream Cold Foam

2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons low fat milk
2 tablespoons banana syrup
Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

Make the banana bread syrup:

Add the brown sugar, water, banana, and cinnamon to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and use a fork or potato masher to mash the banana into very small pieces. Continue simmering for 5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved.
Place a fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup and carefully pour the syrup through the strainer. Press the banana mixture through the strainer to extract as much liquid syrup as possible. Discard any banana pulp.
Stir the vanilla and butter extracts into the strained syrup. Let the syrup cool completely, then transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Make the banana coffee:

Fill a large glass with ice.
Brew two shots of espresso and stir in 1 tablespoon of the banana bread syrup. Pour the espresso mixture over the ice.

To make the banana cream cold foam:

Add the heavy cream, low fat milk, and 2 tablespoons of banana syrup to a jar or glass. Use a handheld frother or small whisk to froth until thickened and creamy. Note: The foam should be creamy and pourable, not thick like whipped cream.
Pour the banana cream foam over the iced espresso, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and enjoy.

Notes

The banana cream is the only milk in this latte. If you want your latte creamier, add 1/2 cup of the milk of your choice to the ice. Then add the espresso, syrup, and cold foam.
You can use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of strongly brewed coffee (regular or decaf), iced coffee, or cold brew coffee in the place of espresso.
