A quick and easy homemade iced coffee recipe combining espresso, brown sugar, and oat milk shaken to create a creamy, frothy, and refreshing drink perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) freshly brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon (about 12 grams) packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (180 ml / 6 fl oz) barista-style oat milk
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup / 240 ml)
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Pinch of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots (60 ml / 2 fl oz) of espresso or strong coffee and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Pour the warm espresso into a mason jar or cocktail shaker and add 1 tablespoon (12 g) packed brown sugar.
  3. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until frothy and sugar is dissolved.
  4. Fill a serving glass with about 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes.
  5. Pour the shaken espresso mixture over the ice.
  6. Top with ¾ cup (180 ml) oat milk, allowing it to swirl and mix naturally.
  7. Optionally, add ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract before shaking or sprinkle cinnamon on top for garnish.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

Shake the espresso while it is still warm to dissolve the brown sugar properly and create a silky texture. Use barista-style oat milk for best creaminess and froth. Large ice cubes help keep the drink cold without quick dilution. You can pre-brew espresso and store it in the fridge up to 24 hours, but shake with brown sugar and add oat milk fresh before serving.
