A quick and easy iced espresso drink combining brown sugar syrup and creamy oat milk, shaken to frothy perfection for a delicious Starbucks-style treat at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 2 oz) freshly brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water (to make brown sugar syrup)
  • ½ cup (4 fl oz) chilled oat milk
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill shaker or glass about halfway)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the brown sugar syrup by combining 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and cool completely.
  2. Brew 2 shots (about 2 oz) of espresso or strong brewed coffee using your preferred method.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar halfway with ice cubes.
  4. Pour the hot espresso over the ice in the shaker or jar. Add 2 tablespoons of cooled brown sugar syrup and ½ cup chilled oat milk.
  5. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until frothy and chilled.
  6. Pour the shaken espresso mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.
  7. Lightly sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish.

Notes

Use freshly brewed espresso for best flavor. Shake vigorously to create froth. Chill oat milk and ice for a refreshing drink. Brown sugar syrup can be made ahead and stored in fridge up to two weeks. Substitute almond or cashew milk if preferred. Adjust sweetness by varying syrup amount.
