Coconut Kerala Golden Milk

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: ice, banana, milk and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the golden milk and let it coconut, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the vegetable stock and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
