Print Recipe

A quick and simple recipe to make a creamy, sweet, and frothy iced espresso drink at home using brown sugar and oat milk, inspired by Starbucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (dark or light brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) oat milk (preferably barista-style)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill a 12-ounce glass)
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the espresso: Pull 2 shots of fresh espresso (about 2 oz or 60 ml).
  2. Add brown sugar: Immediately pour 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar into the hot espresso.
  3. Shake it up: Transfer the espresso and brown sugar mixture into your shaker or jar. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until frothy and sugar is dissolved.
  4. Fill your glass with ice: Add enough ice cubes to fill a 12-ounce (360 ml) glass.
  5. Pour the shaken espresso over ice: Strain or pour the shaken espresso directly over the ice.
  6. Add oat milk: Slowly pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) of oat milk over the espresso and ice.
  7. Optional spices: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top if desired.
  8. Stir lightly: Give the drink a gentle stir to combine but keep some frothy texture.
  9. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use room-temperature espresso to help dissolve sugar better. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to create frothy texture. Barista-style oat milk froths better but regular oat milk works fine. You can substitute espresso with strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate. Adjust sweetness by reducing brown sugar or using alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or monk fruit. Prepare espresso ahead and refrigerate but shake only before serving.
