Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 200 ml water
- 2 teaspoons jasmine tea leaves
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into thick, even rounds approximately 1 inch in size. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine 200ml of water and 2 teaspoons of jasmine tea leaves. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the jasmine tea into a larger saucepan, discarding the tea leaves. Add the coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan with the jasmine tea.
Heat the coconut milk mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to gently simmer. Avoid boiling to preserve the creamy texture.
Add the sliced bananas to the simmering coconut milk. Allow them to cook gently for 5–7 minutes until they are warmed through and begin to soften but not fall apart.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before serving.
Ladle the bananas and jasmine-scented coconut milk into serving bowls. Optionally, garnish with toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm or room temperature as a delightful dessert or a comforting snack.
