You start off with two large unripened plantains.
First, peel and chop the plantains. Putting them in a large bowl of lemon and water is optional but it is often used to prevent browning of the plantain.
Fill the blender 3/4 way up with dairy free milk of your choice. In this case I chose vanilla almond and coconut milk (in powdered form). You can add flour or corn starch to thicken the texture but, I added shredded coconut. Blend until it reaches a smooth, even consistency.
Add two cinnamon sticks to a medium pot, let water come to a boil before adding the blended mixture.
Add the mixture to the boiling water and slow steadily for 15 minutes or so. Then add your flavoring : Vanilla, Ground nutmeg, and almond extract (optional). Then sweeten to your liking, I used coconut sugar and cane sugar.
And That’s All!
