A refreshing and creamy iced espresso drink shaken with brown sugar and topped with oat milk, perfect for a quiet summer moment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 2 oz or 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) oat milk, preferably barista-style
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill shaker halfway)
  • Optional: a few drops vanilla extract
  • Optional: light dusting of cinnamon
  • Optional sweetener alternatives: coconut sugar or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Brew two shots (about 2 oz/60 ml) of espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot.
  2. While espresso is still warm, add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and stir gently to start dissolving.
  3. Fill a shaker or mason jar halfway with ice cubes.
  4. Pour the sweetened espresso over the ice, seal the shaker, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until cold and frothy.
  5. Strain or pour the shaken espresso and ice into a tall glass, leaving some ice behind if desired.
  6. Gently pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) chilled oat milk over the top to create a layered, silky look.
  7. Optionally, add a light dusting of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract and stir lightly before drinking.

Notes
