Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso or 2 oz strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup oat milk (unsweetened or vanilla)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar syrup (see below)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (non-alcoholic)

Method
 

  1. 1. Make brown sugar syrup by simmering 100g dark brown sugar and 100ml water in a saucepan until dissolved (5 min).
  2. 2. Pour 2 shots of espresso or brewed coffee into a cocktail shaker with ice.
  3. 3. Add 2 tbsp brown sugar syrup and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
  4. 4. Strain into a glass filled with remaining ice.
  5. 5. Top with 1/4 cup oat milk and stir gently.

Notes

Adjust syrup to taste; store unused syrup in a sealed jar for up to 1 week. Use a frother for smoother oat milk texture if desired. Substitute strong brewed coffee for espresso if preferred.
