Beverages

Cold espresso sits under a pale banana foam that tastes fruity without turning the drink into a smoothie. A briefly cooked banana syrup gives a clean flavor and keeps raw fruit pulp out of the coffee. The result is creamy on top, brisk underneath and easy to make without a café machine.

Béarnaise Sauce
