2. Korean Banana Milk to Korean Banana Smoothie
If you want to try the smoothie version, you only have to replace the water amount with the milk amount. That way, it will be a lot thicker, which is perfect for a smoothie. Then you will have to add a couple of slices of banana to make it more pretty and perfect for Instagram.
3. How to replace the maple syrup in the Korean Banana Milk
The maple syrup gives a taste that is more like actual banana milk. However, if you don't like it that way or can't use some for any reason, you can try it with honey, as it is also sweet. However, the maple syrup gives a smoother texter and a lighter and sweeter flavor than honey. If you want to go with some honey, it might be good to drop by drop to see what's the perfect amount, as you might need less than 1 tbsp/15mL.
