What is Korean Banana Milk?
Korean Banana Milk is simply milk flavored with banana. What makes it "Korean" is that it's inspired by the Korean brand Binggrae who produces their own version of banana milk. Their product is so popular among Koreans and it's sold everywhere in Korean convenience stores or at H-mart. Therefore, there isn't any traditional Korean ingredients in the drink itself but it's more so the background to this recipe that makes it Korean perse.
I love this drink! It’s one of those delicious drinks that I can’t get enough of, but the price tag does hold me back from buying more. Not to mention the additives they add to the drink to preserve shelf life. So, I decided to make my own version at a fraction of the cost with real bananas, milk, vanilla and sugar. It's so easy and tasty. You won't ever want to buy from the store after making this!

Expert Tips

It was super good! I was wondering if you knew, if I make a gallon amount of this, how long it would last? Or if I just shouldn’t do that? Thanks!

Thank you so much for these kind words and for making my recipe! I wouldn't recommend that since the bananas tend to solidify within a few hours.
