I’m a sucker for a good seasonal drink. While my go to order is a lavender latte, I always love checking out the seasonally recommended drinks when I go to the coffee shop. And this brown sugar oat milk latte WON my heart particularly quickly.
And I’m not even much of an iced coffee drinker but I TRULY love this drink and have been making it at home FAR too often:)
I figured that it was past time for me to share me recipe here for how I’ve been making it.
SO, that’s what I’m going to do today. It’s truly simple to make and the syrup makes enough for about 4 drinks. That way, you can drink one SEVERAL times throughout the week (without having a ridiculous coffee bill at the end).
Ingredients we’re working with:
The ingredients in this are simple and you probably have them all at home already!
- Espresso
- Oat Milk: HERE is my from-scratch oat milk but I also have a full review of my go-to store bought vegan creamers if you want to buy some.
- Ice
- Brown sugar syrup: this is truly simple to make and consists of only water, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
To make the brown sugar syrup:
This is especially simple and takes less than 10 minutes! Simply combine all of the syrup ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a low simmer. Let cook for about 5 minutes or until the brown sugar is full dissolved. Then simply let cool and you’re ready to shake together your drink!
This syrup makes about 4 drinks *using 2 tablespoons of it in each drink*.
To make the latte:
Once the syrup is made, all you need to do is pour 2 tablespoons over ice as well as a strong shot of espresso. Shake for about 30 seconds to chill and combine.
Pour into a tall glass filled with ice and then top the rest of the wya with oat milk. UNFUSSY and straightforward!
AND that’s it! PLEASE please let me know what you think of this method once you’ve had a chance to make it! Now I’m off to go make another batch of the syrup because I’m out and this post has got me CRAVING it:)
