This copycat Starbucks iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso is beyond delightful. The slightly sweet, ice cold latte with smooth oat milk and a shot of espresso will put that pep in your step on a day when it’s needed. Or, just when you want a pick-me-up anytime of day that happens to be really delicious too. Enjoy!

I have been drinking this Starbucks iced beverage a lot lately.

First, I was buying one or two a week!

Way too much to spend and crazy to run out and stand on any lines when I can easily make one at home.

With only a few ingredients that you probably already have on hand, that is if you are a regular oat milk drinker like I am. Actually, I always have oat milk, almond milk, and coconut milk in my fridge.

So, you can interchange if you don’t have oat milk one day. You can even use dairy milk in a jam. But, the oat milk is just so smooth and creamy. There is nothing else like it in my book. I regularly put this in a to-go cup and take with me on errands or on the way for appointments.  

Hey, I’ve even made this some evenings with decaf coffee. It’s all about the taste of this amazing iced drink. Well, I guess it really is about the punch of espresso or strong coffee too. 

Either way, I hope you give this a try and love it the way I do. 

Recipe note: Starbucks uses a brown sugar syrup in this drink. I really feel it’s not needed and using regular brown sugar works just perfectly. By adding the sugar to the hot espresso, it dissolves into its own brown sugar syrup. Also, no need to spend money on another syrup.

Yields: 1 Tall/Grande Size

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own copycat Starbucks iced brown sugar oat milk  espresso…

 

Ingredients:

• 1 ounce hot brewed espresso or, you can use instant. Regular strong coffee works just as well for this recipe
• 1 cup iced cold oat milk, keep in fridge until you are ready to add
• 1 rounded tablespoon light brown sugar, dark brown sugar will work as well but will add a deeper more molasses flavor so keep that in mind. (For a sweeter drink, add another tablespoon of brown sugar)
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, this all depends if you like a stronger cinnamon taste, you can also leave out
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract, this is optional
• 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups ice, make sure the ice is fresh. This makes a difference in the quality of the taste

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the easy way to make this wonderful beverage…

Directions:

1. Brew some espresso or some strong coffee. Pour into a shaker or a mason jar with a tight lid.
2. Add in the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add in the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir, stir, stir. The espresso/coffee should start to cool off slightly. If you have time, stick in the freezer for a few minutes. If not, add about a cup of ice. Put the lid on and shake, shake, shake. Do this for about 2 minutes. 
3. In a tall glass or cup, add more ice at least half way up. Pour coffee over the ice. Stir. Pour cold oat milk over the top. Don’t stir anymore. Put a straw in and give just a quick stir and taste that it’s cold enough. If not, take out the ice that’s there with a spoon and put fresh ice cubes back in. Take another sip and enjoy!
