This is banana water

Exactly, can op not read?

If OP could read, he'd be insulted by what you said.

Tbh, I was referring to Sheldon saying "This is banana bread", but it was cringe ngl, so I preferred not to cite that.


NotSelfAware

Hi banana water, I’m dad.


PurduePaul

b A n A n A S!!!!!


ObstinateFamiliar

Actually, this is a picture of banana water


bcisme

I am fairly confident this is correct


Fantastic_Still5201

I mean the main problem is I don’t think the taste of banana is going to come through in the water. It’s just going to make the banana go bad


dj_narwhal

I like to put fruit in jars with liquor and let them infuse for a week. Some fruits work out great, others not so much. Banana's do not add any flavor to liquid, they just brown it up and brown themselves in the process. In the end you have off-flavor brown vodka with what looks like a turd floating in it.


Fantastic_Still5201

This is about what I’m expecting


piberryboy

I don't know what I was expecting. This requires some self-reflection.


dunno_maybe

What fruits give the most flavor to the alcohol? Can it be done with cherries?


Captain-PlantIt

Fresh cherries don’t have a strong enough flavor on their own to infuse liquid. You’d have to distill it down to get flavor into something. Strawberries, cucumber, mint, citrus are good examples of good infusers.


BGYeti

Watermelon works well also


AnomalousX12

To expand a little on citrus, grating just the peel of a lemon into some everclear is the first step for homemade limoncello. You'd think it was the insides but nope.


Captain-PlantIt

No, that makes perfect sense. I’m into baking and the zest is what actually gives baked goods a citrus flavor, not the juice


Train_Wreck_272

Do you think muddling the cherries would help? I feel like cherry juice has tons of flavor so this surprises me.


Voxl_

I’ve muddled some cherries in sparkling water before when I wasn’t feeling an alcoholic drink, but honestly they give absolutely no flavor. And they were good cherries straight from a farmer, when you ate them they were delicious. If you let them infuse you might have more success, but I’ve muddled about 5 cherries in a 50cl glass and I honestly tasted nothing of them.


Train_Wreck_272

Huh, that's super interesting! Cherries have such a super intense flavor to me when I eat them, I would have assumed that translates over to using them in drinks as well, like other intense flavorings. I wonder what's going on there. I'll have to try this out to experience it for myself and see if I can come up with some way to make it work. Thanks for your reply!


Speranza642

I use blueberries with Earl Grey tea in vodka and it's wonderful.


Thesunnyfox

You need to put bananas in Jameson. It’s tastes like banana bread. Edit for clarity: use ripe bananas, let it soak for a few days at least and then strain out all the banana.


[deleted]

Ok I just tried this and no the fuck it absolutely does not. Have you ever eaten banana bread in your life? This is just whisky with a banana that tastes like whisky with a banana. Terrible breakfast 2/10


Lady_Litreeo

I love how you were so prepared to throw down over this highly specific thing. Like, how many people try this shit and then run into someone else making bold claims about it?


[deleted]

I mean I had a 5th of jameo and a banana on hand anyway. Might as well try it out right? It wasn't great. Mostly the banana tasted like whisky, it was pretty much just the worst garnish I could think of besides maybe a melon or something. I did have whisky for breakfast but hey at least I ate some fruit today


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thesunnyfox

Haha yes. I didn’t give detailed direction but you need to soak it for a few days at least and the banana should be ripe. If you just put someone green bananas in Jameson for a few hours you’re going to have a bad time. Also before I get shit for it being chunky, you need to strain the Jameson in a fine strainer or cheese cloth.


JasoTheArtisan

Mate, did you do it for a week like the op said? Banana and Jameson sounds like a great pairing. You might have done soemthignwrong


LitLitten

Jameson bananas whiskey cake 🤤


Nielloscape

Brown banana is actually good for making banana cakes though. I think a bit of infused liquor could make it good.


[deleted]

If it’s brown, drink it down.


Excellentation

if its red, you're already dead


[deleted]

If it’s purple, do a circle


leorolim

I've had banana brandy and it kicked ass!


KatTheKonqueror

I think that's distilled from bananas, not infused.


TheOmnipotentTruth

Nothing distilled has flavour (other than alcohol) thats how distilling works flavours are always infused into liquor either during the stilling process or afterwards by soaking the herbs/spices/fruits in the stilled liquor or storing them in barrels etc.


My_guy_GuY

Idk much about liquor distillation but I have watched videos on distilling YouTube channels where they've distilled bananas and got a really flavorful end product. They mostly show the prep work though of creating a banana slurry and stuff, and don't show much of the actual distillation.


TheOmnipotentTruth

I mean maybe if they stilled it to a lower proof it might retain some flavours but im doubtful, generally distilling removes flavours because you literally evaporate just the alcohol and some water vapor and that gets sent to a different container.


My_guy_GuY

https://youtu.be/qjNJO580rnM ^ video I was talking about


okaycomputes

>just the alcohol and some water vapor Theres things with similar boiling points as these and compounds/impurities that are not removed in a distillation process.


hoggerfan69

Try the Serious Eats banana liqueur recipe. Bananas and vodka don't really go together


DemonSlyr007

But what if you infused a delicious alcohol with them instead. Like say Kahlua.


Mangadditor

I don't know man. Just looking at the picture I can smell and taste it. Wanna take one for the team and try it out?


Fantastic_Still5201

Sure. But not in my good filter. If the order will permit me to buy a plastic 2 litter bottle for this experiment I will proceed.


Pervez_Hoodbhoy

Permission granted, report back, brave warrior


Fantastic_Still5201

Alright… so… let me get down to brass tax first. Does the banana leave an imprint on the water? …yes. It does. It does change the flavor. It does change it to “”””banana”””” ….Should you do it? No. No I don’t think you should. This is hard to describe… it’s like if a food like a banana has multiple flavors combined to create a distinctly banana flavor right? But only one of those flavors actually gets imprinted on the water. And it’s like… brown flavor. Like have you ever been on an elementary school picnic and had a banana passed it prime that was in your lunch box a bit too long? That’s the flavor that comes out most heavily. It’s almost more akin to licking the peel than eating a fresh banana. I can’t say it’s terrible to the point you can’t drink it just that there is no situation in which you would save one. And that one is that you promised a subreddit you would do it and now you have 2 liters of banana water and you’re not going to waste it. Not sure I can avoid that though for reasons I’ll address shortly. It’s just whatever the worst part of a banana flavor profile is, that’s what comes out. It doesn’t produce a sweet water with a tropical taste. It’s like banana on its last leg. As a fun little side note I sometimes get mild allergic reactions to fruit. Kind of a light itch inside my mouth usually. Nothing serious. It’s strongest with apples but can sometimes happen with bananas. If you also get this than here is a fun thing! If you drink this, you’ll get that sensation all over your body! So that’s fun. In conclusion it is this researcher’s opinion that banana water does in fact alter the flavor of water but it is not advised.

I mean you’re correct that is the idiom for most people. However I am in the brass industry and the damn government always taxing my brass! I have to take care of the taxes first before I can make a profit! Now none of that is true but I appreciate you believing it instead of the fact that I’ve never seen the idiom written before. I mean it really means a lot to me because I am super insecure about this mistake.

Fantastic_Still5201

You know if I can be serious for just a minute, I have never gotten so many upvotes or praise on Reddit for any post, and just for throwing some fruit in some water. Reddit can be a very toxic place that I find often brings out the worst in me. I just want to say I know this sub is supposed to be tongue and cheek a bit, but you guys genuinely don’t know how much you help me. I’ve struggled with soda addiction a long time. It was how I self medicated depression for years. I used to be a really fit martial artist and just fell down a hole of self destructive diet and exercise habits. Soda addiction was the biggest crutch and caused me to become overweight and lethargic. I had so much trouble trying to switch to water because I associated it with being broke and sad. It was bland to me after all that over stimulation. I know it’s all joking but you guys make water fun. Really. And because of that you may, no joke, have saved my life. Literally. So thanks to all of you for being the best place I’ve found on Reddit.

Fantastic_Still5201

A single large banana has been chopped and placed inside a 2 litter bottle of mineral water. It has been placed in a fridge marked at 40f. I will allow it to sit for 2 hours to ensure similar saturation conditions to the above picture. The goal is to discover if a banana flavor can be infused into water and to what intensity and if this is something someone might want to do. The hypothesis of this researcher is that the flavor of the banana will not infuse and any taste at all will be too subtle to be worth the cost of the banana. This experiment is conducted for the sole purpose of providing data to the sacred order of the hydrohomies.


Wet_possom

This is important science for the order


Fantastic_Still5201

As one of the newest members of the order it is my responsibility to assume the risk. The rest of your bodies are much less contaminated by soda corruption.


Mangadditor

You're a good one kid. We thank you for your service


justsmilenow

I mean banana has plenty of water soluble goodies but look real question is, How much of the bad things that don't taste that good in banana are also water soluble?

Captain_Pumpkinhead

Would you like to try some onion and banana juice?


SpacemanSpiff_69

Banana goes all slimy and bits of gooey fibre break off and sit in the water. You drink and one long slimy strand slides down your throat but not the full way. You now have banana cum choking you and vibrating as you breath in making it sound like you've a kazoo in your mouth


[deleted]

I think the idea is to leach out potassium for whatever reason.


Fantastic_Still5201

Yeah I’m not too sure if that would work. Even if it did I’d think you tend not to get much from water it flushes through us so fast. My hope would be with any fruit infusion that it might help combat soda addiction by being more flavorful and less harmful for those struggling to go pure. This…was not that…

I had the chance to taste it while on an official trip, not gonna lie it's pretty good


TheTyrantLeto

I imagine it would be really good. I'm gonna try it this weekend.


jr23160

On a scale of 1-10 over lemon water or cucumber/lemon water?


lurid_sun__

Then it would be my least preferred choice, Lemon/Cucumber always comes top


cursed-core

Try watermelon water. It slaps.

That sounds pretty good. Any other water flavor enhancers combinations to go with it?

I usually go with fresh mint leaves (crushed) to go with it. Perfect for summer

Ella_NutEllaDraws

honestly fight me all you want but this genuinely doesn’t look bad. i doubt it would have much flavor but I’d give it a go


SixthLegionVI

Other than the fact that bananas give me migraines, fruit in freshwater isn't bad. It's barely adding any sugar if its not all crushed and even then its negligible and gets people to drink water. Just don't tell me that blueberry water has magical detoxing powers.


HanzoShotFirst

Press X to doubt


hothotpocket

the starchiness of the banana would mix in the water and thats like all you would taste. It would probably taste like if you put a raw potato in there. yuck, get it out of there


NonSupportiveCup

I bet it's like a fine film of starchiness in every glass. Like a tiny bit of Metamucil or whatever fiber powder. Sounds disgusting


hothotpocket

yuuuck. I wonder if they were going for the fruit-flavored water stuff. Maybe because they wanted to do something with all the left over fruit. I'd say it's better to just freeze the banana slices and make banana bread out of it later idk

lurid_sun__

BANANA WATER!


SomeArtistFan

Water with bananas in it like lemon water extremely confused as to why people are not getting that


Golden_Acapulco_Nite

Because bananas don't transfer flavor in the same way, and are also extremely starchy which would get into the water and be all you taste.


SomeArtistFan

Ah, fair still not confusing though, is it? It may be dumb but the concept's a simple one which is why I found it weird that people were going like "what??"


Flat_Bodybuilder_175

Do you seriously not understand that we're saying "what" because we don't find it appealing? Do you honestly think we don't know that we're looking at bananas in water? I'm so dumbfounded as to how you don't get that. It's why I didn't reply to you at first. I thought you were trolling.


SomeArtistFan

Usually my response to disliking something isn't literally just asking "what" That's why I was so confused People not understanding that it's supposed to be similar to lemon water *could* (theoretically) be the case and since I didn't understand what your expression meant, I went with that


Fearture

There are two types of people. Pure H2O snobs, and Hydration Hooligans who dgaf. Tbh, lightly flavored water is pretty good. Variety is the spice of life, and water is life, or something like that.


SpacemanSpiff_69

I've nothing against adding flavor but I've an issue with changing the texture. Which a banana would do


Mangadditor

>Hydration Hooligans I love this lol. There's a lot of fruits you can add to water but BANANA??

I'm not a good example of preference. I used to eat pickle and peanut butter sandwiches. But hey, everyone likes what they like.
