# What You'll Need:
→ Espresso
01 - 2 shots (approx. 2 fl oz) hot, freshly brewed espresso
→ Brown Sugar Syrup
02 - 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon hot water
04 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
→ Assembly
05 - 1/2 cup oat milk, chilled
06 - Ice cubes, as needed
# How to Make It:
01 - Combine brown sugar, hot water and cinnamon (if using) in a small bowl or glass; stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture is uniform.
02 - Brew two shots of espresso (about 2 fl oz) and keep it hot and freshly prepared until assembly.
03 - Pour the hot espresso and prepared brown sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a lid; add ice to fill the container halfway.
04 - Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
05 - Fill a serving glass with ice to chill the glass and provide a cold base for the espresso mixture.
06 - Strain the shaken espresso mixture over the ice in the serving glass, then pour 1/2 cup chilled oat milk over the top, allowing it to swirl; stir gently if desired.
07 - Serve immediately. Adjust sweetness to taste and offer optional additions such as a dash of vanilla extract, nutmeg, or an alternative plant-based milk.
