Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml), freshly brewed or strong cold brew concentrate
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed, about 30 grams)
- 1/2 cup oat milk (120 ml), preferably barista-style
- Ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots of espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml) and let cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
- Pour warm espresso into a shaker or jar, add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla extract if using.
- Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until sugar dissolves and espresso is slightly frothy.
- Add 1/2 cup oat milk and enough ice cubes to fill the shaker halfway (about 1 cup). Seal the shaker.
- Shake vigorously again for 15-20 seconds to aerate and create a creamy froth.
- Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice (optional).
- Optionally garnish with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg or a cinnamon stick.
Notes
Use warm (not hot) espresso to dissolve sugar better. Shake vigorously twice for best froth. Barista-style oat milk froths better. Use fresh ice cubes to avoid watering down the drink. Adjust sweetness by varying brown sugar amount or using alternatives like maple syrup or honey.
