Ingredients
  

For the Brown Sugar Syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
For the Drink
  • 1 cup ice
  • 2-3 shots espresso brewed strong
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar syrup from above
  • 1/4-1/2 cup oat milk adjust to your preference
  • 1 cinnamon optional, for dusting

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Jar or cocktail shaker
  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Serving glass

Method
 

  1. First, make the brown sugar syrup. Combine 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Let it cool completely, then transfer to a jar. This makes more than you need for one drink; store the rest in the refrigerator.
  2. Next, prepare your espresso. Brew 2-3 shots of strong espresso using your espresso machine or coffee maker.
  3. In a jar or cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of ice, 2 tablespoons of the prepared brown sugar syrup, and the brewed espresso. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold.
  4. Fill your serving glass with fresh ice. Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice.
  5. Top with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of oat milk, depending on how milky you like your drink. Stir gently.
  6. If desired, dust with a little cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso.

Notes

This recipe is easily customizable. Adjust the amount of brown sugar syrup and oat milk to suit your taste. For a richer flavor, you can use a bit more espresso. This drink is best enjoyed immediately after preparation.
