Ingredients

Brown Sugar Syrup

½ cup water
½ cup coconut sugar
1 cinnamon stick
½ tsp vanilla extract

Remaining ingredients

2 shots espresso or 1/3 cup very strong brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions

Make the brown sugar simple syrup: Combine the water, coconut sugar, and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil while whisking until the sugar is dissolved.
After it begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool completely.
Add the 2 shots of espresso + 1.5 tbsp of the simple syrup in a mason jar with a little ice. Close the lid and shake well.
Fill another glass with ice and pour the espresso mixture over top. Add the oatmilk on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Mary's Tips & Tricks

Milk Alternatives: For this brown sugar shaken espresso, you don't have to use oat milk if you prefer something else! it will work with almond milk, regular cow's milk, soy milk, etc.! Choose your favorite.
Sugar Options: I like using coconut sugar, but you can sub regular brown sugar or brown sugar Swerve (keto-friendly) if preferred.

Serving Tips

Serve in your favorite glass with ice and a straw! Or, if you're on the go, your favorite tumbler! If you're hungry, drink this alongside my Overnight Oatmeal or Egg Bites- easy make-ahead breakfast options!

Storage Tips

Store leftover brown sugar syrup in an airtight container or mason jar with a lid in the fridge for up to a week. Use it with cold brew, another coffee drink, or make another shaken espresso! It's on repeat at my house!
