Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • whisk
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Jar or Bottle
  • Stovetop

Ingredients
  

Syrup Base

  • ripe bananas mashed about 1 cup
  • cup brewed coffee strong
  • cup granulated sugar
  • tbsp brown sugar adds depth
  • tsp cinnamon
  • tsp nutmeg
  • tsp ginger
  • tsp lemon juice
  • pinch salt
  • tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Mash bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth with slight texture remaining.
  • Add coffee, sugars, and lemon juice to a saucepan. Stir until combined.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugars dissolve.
  • Add spices and continue simmering for 10–12 minutes until syrup thickens slightly.
  • Check texture; syrup should coat the back of a spoon without becoming too thick.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt for balanced flavor.
  • Strain if desired, then cool completely before storing in a sealed jar.

Notes

Simmer longer for thicker syrup or reduce time for a lighter consistency. Chill to slightly thicken. Freeze in small portions for extended storage. Stir before use if separation occurs. Adjust spice levels to taste. Store refrigerated up to one week in an airtight container.
