- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup cold water
- 1½ tsp granulated sugar (or to taste)
- a pinch of salt (to balance out the sweetness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)

Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather all ingredients including the ripe banana, whole milk, cold water, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to ensure smooth preparation.
- Combine ingredients: Add the banana, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to a blender, making sure the banana is peeled and cut into manageable pieces.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients at high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy, indicating that the banana is fully pureed and the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the banana milk mixture; if the banana is not very ripe or the sweetness is insufficient, add a little more sugar and blend briefly to mix.
