Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- ½ cup (120 ml) chilled oat milk
- Ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml or enough to fill the glass)
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots of espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml) using an espresso machine or brew a strong coffee concentrate.
- Pour the hot espresso into a shaker or mason jar and add 2 teaspoons of packed brown sugar. Add ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the sugar dissolves and the espresso becomes frothy.
- Fill a tall glass about ¾ full with ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml).
- Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of chilled oat milk over the ice.
- Strain or pour the shaken espresso mixture over the oat milk and ice to create a layered effect. Stir gently if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Use freshly brewed espresso for best crema and froth. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to create a light foam. Keep oat milk chilled to prevent dilution. Dark brown sugar adds richer flavor. You can substitute brown sugar with maple syrup or honey but flavor will vary. Prepare espresso and sugar mixture up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate; add oat milk and ice fresh before serving.
