Ingredients
Scale
Espresso Base
- 2 shots of espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Final Touches
- ½ cup oat milk
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew two shots of espresso or prepare strong coffee and allow it to cool completely to prevent melting the ice and diluting the flavor.
- Combine Ingredients in Shaker: In a cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the cooled espresso or coffee, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Add Ice and Shake: Add one cup of ice cubes to the shaker. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture is frothy and chills thoroughly.
- Serve: Fill a tall glass with fresh ice and strain or pour the shaken espresso mixture into the glass.
- Add Oat Milk: Top the drink with half a cup of oat milk and stir gently to combine the layers, giving the drink a creamy texture.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve right away to enjoy the optimal frothy texture and refreshing chill.
Notes
- For a less sweet drink, reduce the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon.
- You can use store-bought or homemade oat milk depending on preference.
- To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of sea salt or garnish with a cinnamon stick.
