Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
This Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso became a fast favorite of coffee lovers when it debuted at Starbucks. However, it quickly left customers heartbroken when it no longer showed up on the menu.
I saw it in a few locations across the country on a recent trip but not all stores had restocked. Well worry not, because you can make the Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso right at home!
The brown sugar syrup is a cinch to make, and you can make a large batch to store in the fridge to make this drink time and time again! Plus, you can customize the flavors and what type of espresso you use to your preference, and it’s dairy free!
This drink is addicting and with this easy recipe you’ll never have to go without it. Plus at home, you know they’ll get your name right.
How to Make Our Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso Recipe
- To make the brown sugar syrup, stir together the brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let the combination come to a light boil for about one minute then remove the pan from heat, and let it cool completely. This is great to make a big batch and keep it in your refrigerator so you can make this drink anytime you get a craving for it.
- Once ready, add a tablespoon of the brown sugar syrup to a cup then add the ice.
- Pour over the espresso and shake to combine. Pour in the oat milk, shake again, and enjoy.
Tips and Variations
- Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, chocolate shavings, or even whipped cream!
- Make the syrup ahead of time for quick and easy lattes anytime.
- If you don’t have espresso, you can make it with freshly brewed coffee although the flavor will be slightly different.
- If oat milk isn’t your thing, try this recipe with almond or soy milk (the flavor may be slightly different).
- Dress up your drink with a cinnamon stick garnish. It’s cute, and tasty!
Storage and Reheating
Storage: The brown sugar syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. However, the rest of the drink should be made when ready to enjoy.
Reheating: As this is an iced coffee drink, we don’t recommend reheating.
