Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 can evaporated milk
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (+ more for serving)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups water
- ice to serve
Instructions
- Add the bananas, evaporated milk, condensed milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and 2 cups of water to a blender.
- Blend until nicely smooth and then transfer the mixture to a large pitcher with ice.
- Add the remaining water and stir to combine.
- Adjust sweet to taste by adding a little bit of sugar if needed.

Notes
- Use ripe, yellow bananas with brown spots. Ripe bananas are sweeter and have a more pronounced flavor, which will enhance the taste of this drink.
- If you prefer a smoother and pulp-free texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any banana fibers or solids.
