2 steps
Method
1
Blend everything until velvet-smooth, scraping down once, about 1 minute.
1 min — timer available in cooking mode
Why this works
A frozen banana does the work of ice cream and ice at once — keep a bag of chunks in the freezer permanently.
2
Taste: dull means more honey, flat means a squeeze of lemon. Pour and drink cold.

Chef's notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Best the day it's made; syrups and bases keep a week refrigerated.
Freezing
Freeze bases into cubes for instant future drinks.
Reheating
Serve as intended — hot drinks fresh, cold drinks over plenty of ice.
Make ahead
Syrups and bases keep a week refrigerated; freeze fruit for instant thick blends.
