Equipment
- 1 espresso machine or instant espresso
Ingredients
- 2 shots Starbucks blonde espresso roast
- 2 teaspoons Light brown sugar
- 6 ounces (3/4 cup) oatmilk
- 1 dash Cinnamon
Instructions
Step One: Espresso
- Start by making the espresso. Then, stir the brown sugar into the espresso. You want to do this while the espresso is still hot so that the brown sugar dissolves and creates an even flavor.
Step Two: Mix
- Place the ice, espresso, and cinnamon in a cocktail shaker or mason jar with the top screwed on tightly. Shake vigorously 10 to 20 times.
Step Three: Serve
- Pour the espresso into a glass and top with oatmilk. If you are a cinnamon lover, top with another dash before serving!
Notes
Note: This recipe uses brown sugar instead of syrup. In my testing, I felt that brown sugar created a richer flavor.
