Print Recipe

A quick and easy iced latte recipe combining rich espresso, homemade brown sugar syrup, and creamy oat milk for a comforting and delicious drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 2 fl oz / 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chilled oat milk
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup or 240 ml)
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt for syrup
  • Optional: dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup dark brown sugar with ¼ cup water. Heat over medium, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens slightly into a syrup (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and add a pinch of sea salt if using. Let it cool.
  2. Brew the Espresso: Pull 2 shots of espresso (about 2 fl oz / 60 ml). If using brewed coffee, make it strong and concentrated. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Fill Your Glass with Ice: Add enough ice cubes to fill a tall glass about two-thirds full (roughly 1 cup or 240 ml of ice).
  4. Combine Syrup and Espresso: Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the brown sugar syrup into the glass over the ice, then add the espresso shots. Stir gently to mix.
  5. Add Oat Milk: Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled oat milk over the espresso mixture to create a swirling effect.
  6. Final Stir: Give the latte a gentle stir to combine all flavors evenly.
  7. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for aroma.

Notes

Use fresh espresso for best flavor and avoid reheating to prevent bitterness. The brown sugar syrup should be thick enough to coat but not clumpy. Chill oat milk and ice to keep the latte refreshing. A pinch of salt in the syrup enhances flavor. Store leftover syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
