Ingredients
Espresso
- 2 oz (60 ml) espresso, brewed fresh
- 2 teaspoons (8 g) brown sugar
Milk & Ice
- Oat milk, unsweetened, enough to fill glass ¾ full
- Ice cubes, as needed
Optional Garnishes
- Cinnamon, for garnish
- Nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions
- Brew Espresso: Start by brewing a double shot of espresso using your espresso machine. Aim for rich, bold espresso preferably with a layer of crema on top to enhance flavor.
- Add Sweetener: While the espresso is hot, add two teaspoons of brown sugar. Stir thoroughly until the sugar completely dissolves for a smooth sweetness without grit.
- Prepare Glass: Take a tall glass or jar and fill it with ice cubes until it is approximately three-quarters full. This creates space for pouring milk and espresso comfortably.
- Mix Oat Milk: Shake the oat milk carton briskly for 3-5 seconds to ensure the contents are well blended without frothing.
- Assemble Latte: Carefully pour the oat milk over the ice. Then, gently pour the brewed espresso on top slowly to maintain distinct layers and an attractive presentation.
- Add Garnishes: For an aromatic touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the latte.
- Serve: Insert a reusable straw and serve immediately to enjoy your chilled and creamy oat milk iced latte.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor.
- Adjust the brown sugar amount to taste or substitute with other sweeteners if preferred.
- Ensure oat milk is unsweetened to control sweetness levels.
- Optional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg enhance flavor but can be omitted.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of cold oat milk and warm espresso.
