Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots espresso (about 3 ounces total)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup oat milk (about 4 ounces)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots of espresso (about 3 ounces total).
- While the espresso is still hot, pour it into a mason jar or cocktail shaker. Add the packed brown sugar immediately and stir briefly if needed.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes slightly thicker and develops a light brown foam.
- Fill a serving glass completely with ice cubes.
- Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice.
- Slowly pour the oat milk over the back of a spoon held just above the surface to create layers, or pour directly for a blended look.
- Stir with a long spoon or straw until fully combined. Serve immediately.
Notes
For the best results, use a barista blend oat milk and large ice cubes to prevent dilution. The espresso must be hot when adding the brown sugar to ensure it dissolves properly. If you want a less sweet drink, reduce the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon. For a spiced version, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the shaker.
