Description
A simple, 3-ingredient iced coffee drink made by shaking espresso, brown sugar, and oat milk over ice for a creamy, frothy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots espresso (or 1/2 cup strong coffee)
- 1.5 teaspoons brown sugar (light or dark)
- 3/4 cup oat milk (barista edition recommended)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew two shots of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong coffee. If using instant espresso, mix 2 teaspoons with 1/4 cup hot water.
- While the espresso is still warm or hot, add the brown sugar and stir vigorously until completely dissolved.
- Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar halfway with ice.
- Pour the sweetened espresso and oat milk into the shaker/jar.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake hard for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is cold and frothy.
- Fill a tall glass with fresh ice.
- Pour the shaken mixture over the ice.
- Spoon any remaining foam from the shaker on top.
- Optional: Garnish with a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
Notes
Ensure the brown sugar is dissolved while the espresso is hot to avoid crunchy bits. Use cold oat milk for better frothing and to prevent the ice from melting too quickly. If you don’t have a shaker, a mason jar works perfectly; just ensure the lid is tight to prevent leaks.
