Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup oat milk (or more, to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Espresso/Coffee: Start by brewing two shots of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use 1/2 cup of strongly brewed coffee. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Make Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with just enough hot water to dissolve it, creating a syrup. Add the cinnamon and stir well.
- Shake Espresso and Syrup: In a shaker or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the espresso (or coffee) and the brown sugar syrup. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This process not only mixes the ingredients but also aerates the espresso, giving it a nice froth.
- Add Ice and Oat Milk: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the shaken espresso over the ice. Then, gently pour the oat milk over the espresso. The oat milk should create a beautiful layer on top of the espresso.
- Serve: Optionally, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy texture and the sweet, complex flavors of this shaken espresso.
