Ingredients
Scale
Brown Sugar Syrup
- 1 tbsp packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp hot water
- Pinch of cinnamon
Espresso and Milk
- 1–2 shots espresso
- 1/2 cup unsweetened oat milk
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Make Brown Sugar Syrup: In a mason jar, combine the brown sugar, hot water, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a smooth syrup base for the drink.
- Add Espresso and Shake: Brew one to two shots of espresso and pour the strong coffee over the syrup in the mason jar. Add about 1/2 cup or a handful of ice cubes into the jar. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for one full minute to chill and mix the espresso and syrup thoroughly.
- Finish with Oat Milk: Remove the jar lid and add a few more ice cubes if desired. Pour in 1/2 cup of unsweetened oat milk over the shaken espresso mixture. Stir gently to combine everything evenly, then serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade Starbucks-style shaken espresso.
Notes
- Use dark brown sugar for a deeper, richer flavor.
- Adjust the number of espresso shots based on preferred coffee strength.
- Unsweetened oat milk keeps the drink creamy yet light and dairy-free.
- Shake vigorously to create a frothy, well-mixed texture.
- Add cinnamon to taste for a subtle warm spice note.
