Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots of espresso (approx. 60ml)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup oat milk (Barista edition recommended)
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- Ice cubes (full glass)
Instructions
- Brew two shots of espresso using a machine or Moka pot.
- In a shaker or mason jar, combine the hot espresso, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of hot water.
- Stir vigorously for 30 seconds until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour in 1 cup of oat milk.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to aerate and chill the mixture.
- Fill a serving glass with fresh ice.
- Strain the shaken mixture into the glass.
- Garnish with extra foam or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved in the hot espresso before adding milk to avoid a gritty texture. Use ‘Barista’ edition oat milk for the best foam. Do not store the shaken drink with milk and ice; store the espresso-sugar mixture separately if prepping ahead.
