- 1½ cups oat milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream or barista oat cream
- 1 tbsp toasted walnuts
- Ice
02 Make
The good part
- 01
Mash banana with brown sugar, cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons water; simmer 6 to 8 minutes until glossy, then strain.

Froth cream with vanilla until thick but pourable.

03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use strong cold brew instead of espresso.
- Nutmeg, pecans, or a drop of maple extract can shift the bakery notes.
Refrigerate banana syrup for up to 4 days. Froth the cold foam and assemble each latte just before drinking.
