Ingredients
  

  • 1 VERY Ripe Plantain
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/4 Cup Cane Sugar You can also use coconut or date sugar!
  • 1/4 Cup Agave
  • 1/2 - 3/4 Cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Mash your plantain with a fork and put it into a pot with your sugar, agave, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of water.
    *Make sure to use a VERY ripe plantain, the more ripe and black, the sweeter the syrup will be!
  • Allow this to cook on medium-low for the next 7-ish minutes. After this time has passed, go ahead and add the other 1/4 cup of water and allow to simmer again for the net 3-5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and add the vanilla. Allow the syrup to cool before straining and storing in a jar in the fridge. Enjoy with matcha lattes, iced coffee, ice cream, waffles, cocktails, or anything your heart desires!
