My youngest is often frustrated that we can't find banana milk at the shops. So, on a day when she was putting together a tea party for her sister, I offered to do a bit of research and figure out how to make some tasty homemade banana milk. This was so simple and worked just perfectly.  You can use an equivalent amount of strawberries in lieu of the bananas for a yummy strawberry milk, too.   

A tea party with homemade blueberry pancakes, blackberries, and some banana milk. I should mention neither of them like tea, so there's never tea served at these tea parties.

Banana Milk

Serves 4

Blend together until smooth and a milk-like consistency:

2 yellow bananas (a few brown spots are okay, but I find the best flavor is a nice yellow banana)

1 cup milk

1 cup cold water

1-2 Tbsp maple syrup

1/4 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Serve in a cute little cup and enjoy!

If you're feeling really fancy, you can add a dollop of whipped cream just for fun. 

My youngest dressed up the older (she gets brownie points for being up for these events). They break out the fancy glasses for these events. 

Not sure how she's wearing the same shirt, since these events were weeks apart, but my youngest requested banana milk alongside her Egyptian Meammar Rice for her birthday dinner.  She's definitely like her mom - thinking and brainstorming about food and what she can eat or cook next.
