Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso

Ingredients

• •2 shots espresso shots (or 3 tbsp strong brewed coffee)
• •2 tbsp brown sugar
• •2 tbsp water
• •1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• •1 cup ice cubes
• •1/4 cup oat milk (or any milk)
• •1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. 1Combine brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. 2Stir for 2 minutes until the sugar fully dissolves to form a thin syrup, then remove from heat.
3. 3Brew 2 shots of espresso using a machine, pod brewer, or stovetop moka pot; let cool for 2 minutes.
4. 4Fill a cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a tight lid with ice.
5. 5Pour the warm espresso and the brown sugar syrup into the shaker.
6. 6Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until the mixture is frothy and the shaker feels cold.
7. 7Fill a tall glass with fresh ice cubes.
8. 8Strain the shaken espresso over the ice.
9. 9Pour oat milk gently over top and serve immediately.

💡 No espresso machine? Dissolve 2 tsp of instant espresso powder (like Nescafé Espresso) in 1/4 cup of hot water — it works beautifully here. Oat milk is the classic choice for creaminess without heaviness, but any milk works. Make extra brown sugar syrup and refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks.
