Description
A velvety, dairy-free iced latte made with oat milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. This quick 5-10 minute recipe offers a comforting, coffee-shop-quality drink that is easy to make at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots (60ml) strong espresso or cold brew
- 1 cup (240ml) oat milk (barista-style recommended)
- 2 tablespoons (25g) dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water (for syrup)
- 1 cup (150g) ice cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Extra cinnamon for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots of espresso or strong coffee using an espresso machine, French press, or Keurig. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture bubbles (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Heat the oat milk in the same saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl until steaming but not boiling (around 140°F/60°C).
- Fill a 12-ounce glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the hot espresso over the ice to chill it slightly.
- Add the cinnamon sugar syrup to the glass and stir well.
- Pour the warm oat milk over the coffee. For a frothier texture, blend the milk with ice or pour through a strainer.
- Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use barista-style oat milk for better frothing and creaminess. If the syrup becomes too thick, add a little more water. The cinnamon sugar syrup can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to two weeks. To reduce sweetness, use 1 tablespoon of brown sugar instead of 2.
