Banana Syrup Recipe: Viscous in 20 Min

Instructions:

1. Peel and slice your 2 overripe bananas into 1cm rounds.
2. Place the sliced bananas, 240ml water, and 150g light brown sugar into a medium saucepan.
3. Set the stove to medium and stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
4. Let the mixture reach a gentle bubble. You should hear a light hissing and popping as the fruit softens.
5. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Watch for the liquid to turn golden brown.
6. Stir in the 5ml vanilla extract, 5ml lemon juice, and sea salt. Smell for that hit of warm vanilla.
7. The syrup is done when it coats the back of a spoon. Note: It will thicken significantly as it cools.
8. Set a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the mixture through. Let it drip naturally without pressing for a clearer syrup.
9. Let the syrup sit at room temperature for 30 minutes until it reaches a velvety consistency.
10. Transfer to your glass jar and seal tightly.
