PREP TIME: 5 minutesminutes
COOK TIME: 10 minutesminutes
TOTAL TIME: 15 minutesminutes
Servings: 1serving (with plenty of extra syrup)
Ingredients
For the syrup
1 cup (200grams)brown sugar
1 cup (240ml)water
½teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼teaspoon sea salt
For the shaken espresso
2 shots (2 fl oz / 60ml)espresso, or the same amount of very strong brewed coffee
About ¼ to ½ cup (60 - 120ml)oat milk, or enough to top up the glass
First make the syrup.Add the brown sugar, water, cinnamon and salt to a small pan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring or swirling occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a small jar or other heat proof lidded container. Use right away or store in the fridge until needed.
For the shaken espresso
Brew a double shot of espresso.
To a jar or cocktail shaker, add some ice, then the espresso and a little brown sugar syrup (I like to use 2 tablespoons but you can add as much or as little as you like). Put the lid on and shake until foamy.
Add ice to a tall glass and strain over the espresso syrup mixture.
Top up with cold oat milk. I like to froth my oat milk with a hand held frother before adding it. It makes your iced coffee feel extra special!
Stir well then enjoy!
NOTES
This recipe makes one iced shaken espresso drink, but multiple servings (¾ cup) of the brown sugar syrup. Keep leftovers in a sealed jar/container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.Nutritional information is calculated using 2 tablespoons of syrup per serving of iced coffee.
