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 tbsp 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 1/4tsp ground cinnamon, this all depends if you like a stronger cinnamon taste, you can also leave out
  • 1/8 tsp  vanilla extract, this is optional
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups  ice, make sure the ice is fresh. This makes a difference in the quality of the taste

Instructions

  1. Brew some espresso or some strong coffee. Pour into a shaker or a mason jar with a tight lid. 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. 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!
