Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso
- 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar (dark or light brown sugar)
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) oat milk, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) of hot, fresh espresso using an espresso machine or moka pot.
- While the espresso is still hot, add 2 teaspoons of packed brown sugar and stir gently to start dissolving.
- Pour the sweetened espresso into a cocktail shaker or mason jar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until frothy and slightly thickened.
- Fill a tall glass with 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes.
- Pour 3/4 cup (180 ml) of cold oat milk over the ice. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
- Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the oat milk and ice. Stir gently if desired or leave layered for presentation.
Notes
Use hot espresso to dissolve brown sugar properly before shaking. Shake vigorously to create frothy texture. Use creamy oat milk brands for best mouthfeel. Store shaken espresso mixture in fridge up to 24 hours; add ice and oat milk fresh before serving. Vanilla extract is optional but adds nice depth.
