Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots of espresso about 2 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup oat milk preferably barista edition for frothiness
  • Ice cubes
  • Dash of cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Cocktail shaker or jar with a tight-fitting lid
  • Measuring spoons
  • Glass for serving

Method
 

  1. Brew the Espresso:
  2. Brew 2 shots of strong espresso using an espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use very strong brewed coffee as an alternative.
  3. Prepare the Brown Sugar Syrup:
  4. While the espresso is hot, dissolve the brown sugar into it by stirring thoroughly. This creates a sweetened espresso base.
  5. Shake the Drink:
  6. Fill a cocktail shaker or a jar with a tight-fitting lid about halfway with ice cubes.
  7. Pour the sweetened espresso over the ice.
  8. Add the oat milk to the shaker.
  9. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. The goal is to cool the mixture rapidly and create a frothy texture with the oat milk.

Notes

Strain the shaken espresso and oat milk into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes to keep it chilled without further dilution.
Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top for added flavor and aroma if desired.
