Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 2 oz / 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) barista-style oat milk (e.g., Oatly Barista Edition)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon for the cold foam
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon for dusting
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml to fill glass ¾ full)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots (2 oz / 60 ml) of espresso using your preferred method or strong coffee concentrate.
  2. While espresso is hot, stir in 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar until fully dissolved.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar halfway with ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml). Pour the sweetened espresso over the ice.
  4. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until frothy and chilled.
  5. Strain or pour the shaken espresso and ice into a tall glass, leaving room for foam.
  6. Combine ½ cup (120 ml) cold oat milk with ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and optional ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract in a frothing pitcher or jar.
  7. Froth vigorously using an electric frother or shake hard in a jar until thick, creamy foam forms.
  8. Spoon or gently pour the cinnamon cold foam over the iced espresso, then dust with a pinch of cinnamon.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy.

Notes

Use barista-style oat milk for best frothing results. If no frother is available, shake oat milk and cinnamon vigorously in a jar for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor. Avoid over-shaking espresso to prevent ice melting and dilution. Adjust cinnamon amount carefully to avoid overpowering coffee notes.
