Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots of espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee (dark roast recommended)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 cup oat milk (barista-style preferred, but any unsweetened oat milk works)
- 1 cup ice cubes (large cubes recommended)
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Brew your coffee: Brew 2 shots of espresso or ½ cup of strong coffee.
- Make the brown sugar syrup: In a small bowl or cup, combine 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar with 1 tablespoon of hot water. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved into a smooth syrup.
- Combine the coffee and syrup: Pour your hot brewed coffee into the brown sugar syrup and stir well.
- Fill your glass with ice: Take a tall glass and fill it with about 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Pour the coffee mixture over the ice: Slowly pour the sweetened coffee over the ice.
- Add the oat milk: Pour 1 cup of oat milk over the coffee and ice. Stir gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust: Take a sip and adjust sweetness or creaminess to your liking.
- Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt on top if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature oat milk to prevent separation. Dissolve the brown sugar completely in hot water to avoid grainy texture. Make a larger batch of brown sugar syrup (½ cup brown sugar dissolved in ¼ cup hot water) and store in the fridge for up to a week for quicker preparation. Use coffee ice cubes to prevent dilution.
