This iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso is smooth, lightly spiced, and perfectly frothy with a rich espresso kick. Sweet brown sugar syrup and creamy oat milk make it a refreshing coffeehouse-style drink at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 shots (2 fl oz / 60 ml) espresso, or the same amount of very strong brewed coffee
  • About ¼ to ½ cup (60120 ml) oat milk, or enough to top up the glass
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. To make the brown sugar syrup, add the brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and sea salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove the syrup from the heat and pour into a heatproof jar or container. Let cool slightly before using.
  3. Brew a double shot of espresso or prepare very strong coffee.
  4. Fill a jar or cocktail shaker with ice. Add the espresso and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar syrup, or adjust to taste.
  5. Seal and shake vigorously until the mixture is chilled and foamy.
  6. Fill a tall glass with fresh ice and strain the shaken espresso mixture over it.
  7. Top with cold oat milk. Froth the oat milk first if desired for a creamier texture.
  8. Stir well and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Extra brown sugar syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup.
  • Use strong brewed coffee if you do not have an espresso machine.
  • For a richer flavor, use barista-style oat milk.
