Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) brewed coffee, cooled (medium roast recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) oat milk, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: maple syrup instead of brown sugar, whipped coconut cream for topping, espresso shots instead of brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Brew and chill 1 cup of your favorite coffee completely.
  2. In a small bowl or directly in your glass, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  3. Add 1-2 tablespoons warm water to the sugar and cinnamon mixture and stir vigorously until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Fill a tall glass with about 1 cup of ice cubes.
  5. Pour the cooled coffee over the ice and stir gently to blend with the cinnamon-brown sugar syrup.
  6. Slowly pour 1/2 cup oat milk over the back of a spoon onto the coffee for a marbled effect.
  7. Optional: Froth the oat milk before pouring for extra creaminess.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish, insert a straw or stirrer, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fully cooled brewed coffee to avoid dilution. Dissolve brown sugar in warm water to prevent grittiness. Pour oat milk slowly over a spoon for a marbled look. Adjust sweetness by reducing brown sugar or substituting with maple syrup. Optional spices like nutmeg or cardamom can be added for variation.
