What is In an Iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso?
An iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso is made with a delicious brown sugar simple syrup, espresso, oat milk, and ice. It’s really ALL in the name, isn’t it?
Brown Sugar Simple Syrup
First things first, this brown sugar shaken espresso is all about the brown sugar simple syrup. What is simple syrup? Simple syrup is made by diluting sugar in water to form a syrup. You can really use any kind of sugar to make a simple syrup, even honey. We love that this coffee drink uses a brown sugar simple syrup because it’s warm and bold. It’s also super easy to make. Our brown sugar simple syrup is made with the addition of ground cinnamon and salt for a seriously epic sweetener.
Espresso
Now it’s time to brew your espresso. Feel free to use a Nespresso machine for this (using an espresso pod); that’s what we did! You’ll need around 2 oz. espresso. How to Make Simple Syrup Don’t worry, if you don’t have an espresso maker in your own home, we have some options for you.
Cold brew espresso – this is premade and readily available at most grocery stores. We recommend the Chameleon brand. Instant espresso – comes in a packet that you dilute with water. Brew really strong coffee – brew a cup of super strong coffee. You can use a nomral coffee machine or a French press.
What kind of espresso does Starbucks use?
In the actual Starbucks Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso drink, they use their blonde roast.
Oat Milk
Oat milk is our choice in non-dairy milk when ordering from coffee shops, specifically Starbucks. And we’re thrilled it’s so easy to find at most coffee shops in the USA. In March of 2021, Starbucks announced that they’d be serving Oatly at all of their coffee shops. So, if you want to get the most similar taste to the actual drink, we suggest using Oatly Oat Milk Barista Addition. Other oat milk recommendations include our Homemade Oat Milk recipe or Califia Farms Oatmilk.
Can I use a different kind of milk?
The great thing about this recipe is that it works with any kind of milk. Feel free to use cow’s milk or any other kind of non-dairy milk.
