Korean banana milk (banana uyu) is banana flavored milk. It was first introduced in 1974 by Binggrae and it’s been a steady seller ever since. Binggrae banana milk contains 85% milk, purified water, sugar, 0.32% banana juice concentrate, carotene, artificial flavors – banana and vanilla. Here's the recipe for Korean banana milk.

It is best to consume the milk immediately as you will notice the separation and discoloration as time goes by. But if you must store it for later, refrigeration for up to 2 days is okay. Just shake the milk very well before you drink it.

If you decide to omit the water and add more regular milk, you will end up with a banana smoothie. You can also use honey instead of maple syrup.
