Print Recipe

A quick and easy iced espresso drink with creamy oat milk and homemade brown sugar syrup, perfect for a refreshing and indulgent coffee treat at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 2 oz or 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, chilled
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup or 240 ml)
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or dash of nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Brown Sugar Syrup: Combine ½ cup brown sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to simmer, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract if using. Let cool to room temperature.
  2. Brew Your Espresso: Pull 2 shots of espresso (about 2 oz or 60 ml). Alternatively, brew a strong ½ cup (120 ml) coffee. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Fill Your Glass with Ice: Fill a tall glass with about 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes.
  4. Combine Syrup and Espresso: Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of brown sugar syrup into the glass, then add the espresso. Stir gently to mix.
  5. Add the Oat Milk: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) chilled oat milk over the espresso mixture. Optionally froth the oat milk before pouring.
  6. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
  7. Give it a final gentle stir and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook the brown sugar syrup to avoid overly thick syrup. Let espresso cool slightly before mixing to prevent melting ice too fast. Use fresh espresso and cold oat milk for best flavor. Adjust syrup and espresso amounts to taste. Syrup stores in fridge up to 2 weeks.
