Ingredients
2 shots espresso
1 to 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 pinch cinnamon
1 splash vanilla extract (optional)
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
½ cup ice (for shaking)
Instructions
1. Brew 2 shots of espresso (or ⅓ cup of strong coffee) using an espresso machine, Nespresso, or moka pot.
2. Stir in 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon while espresso is hot. Add vanilla extract if using. Mix until dissolved.
3. Pour the sweetened espresso into a shaker or jar with ½ cup of ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
4. Heat and froth ½ cup of milk using a frother, whisk, or shaking in a jar.
5. Reheat the shaken espresso (optional) in a microwave for 15–20 seconds if you want it hot.
6. Pour espresso into a mug and top with frothed milk. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
Notes
For best flavor, use dark brown sugar to get that deep molasses richness.
Oat milk gives a smooth, creamy foam without overpowering the coffee.
Shake the espresso vigorously—it blends the sugar better and creates a light foam.
