Orange and banana latte creamy coffee drink garnished with orange zest
A visually stunning layered latte combining the creaminess of banana with zesty orange.

Orange & banana latte

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
For latte fans, this drink is an exciting diversion: the natural creaminess and sweetness of banana replaces syrups, whilst the acidity of orange 'cuts' the richness, smuggling freshness alongside the coffee. Layering is not only beautiful but also doses the flavours gradually whilst drinking.

Equipment Needed

  • Coffee maker
  • Milk frother (or small whisk)
  • Highball glass
  • Spoon

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Brew the coffee. Blend the banana until completely smooth with the orange juice, a pinch of salt, and honey (if you like it sweeter).

Tip: In ripe bananas, the starch has already converted to sugar, making the drink much sweeter and creamier [Enzymatic ripening].
2 ✓

Heat the milk and froth it. If you don't have a machine, shake the warm milk in a small jar, then remove the lid and microwave for a few seconds.

Tip: The structure of milk foam is held together by proteins; a more stable, creamier foam can be made from fattier milk (3.5%) [Protein network formation].
3 ✓

Pour the thick banana-orange base into a tall glass.

Tip: The denser liquid always settles at the bottom due to the difference in specific gravity.
4 ✓

Carefully pour the coffee over the back of a spoon, then spoon the milk foam on top.

Tip: The spoon breaks the stream of liquid, so it doesn't mix suddenly with the bottom layer but spreads nicely over it [Layering based on density].
5 ✓

Sprinkle the top with grated orange zest and serve immediately.

Tip: Avoid the white pith of the orange peel when grating, as it contains bitter compounds.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the milk curdle?
The acidity of the orange juice can react with milk proteins if you pour them together too quickly or if the temperature isn't right during layering.
Can I use other fruit?
The texture of banana is unique; with other fruit (e.g. apple) the base will be thinner, but you can achieve a similarly creamy result with mango.
