Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp (30g) brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) water
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch (0.1g) sea salt
  • 2 shots (60ml) espresso
  • 1 cup (240ml) oat milk
  • 1 cup (150g) ice cubes
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) skim milk
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5g) maple syrup

Instructions:

  1. Combine brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture smells nutty and fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool for 2 minutes.
  2. Pour the espresso shots and the warm brown sugar syrup into a shaker or mason jar. Fill the jar halfway with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is frothy and ice-cold.
  3. Fill a serving glass with fresh ice. Pour in the shaken espresso mixture. Gently pour the oat milk over the coffee, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  4. In a separate small pitcher, combine heavy cream, skim milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Froth with a milk frother until thick and billowing, then slowly pour the foam over the top of the drink.
