A quick and refreshing dairy-free iced espresso drink made with oat milk and brown sugar, shaken to create a frothy, creamy texture without any dairy or artificial sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml or 2 fl oz) of strong espresso or concentrated coffee
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup (120 ml or 4 fl oz) unsweetened oat milk
  • 6 to 8 ice cubes
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Brew two shots of espresso (about 60 ml or 2 fl oz). Let it cool for a minute or two so it’s warm, not piping hot.
  2. Pour 1 to 2 teaspoons of brown sugar into the espresso. Stir gently to dissolve as much as possible before shaking.
  3. Transfer the sweetened espresso to a shaker or mason jar. Add the oat milk and a handful of ice cubes (6–8 cubes).
  4. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds until frothy and chilled.
  5. Fill a glass with fresh ice and strain or pour the shaken espresso mixture over it.
  6. Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract on top if desired.

Notes

Use freshly brewed and slightly cooled espresso for best flavor and sugar dissolution. Shake vigorously to create froth and chill the drink. Use fresh ice cubes to avoid freezer flavors. Barista-style oat milk is preferred for creaminess. You can substitute oat milk with other plant-based milks but texture may vary. Store sweetened espresso concentrate refrigerated up to 48 hours and shake with fresh oat milk and ice before serving.
