A quick and easy iced latte made with freshly brewed espresso, creamy oat milk, and sweetened with brown sugar for a smooth, naturally sweet flavor. Perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml) freshly brewed espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk (barista-style recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew two shots (about 60 ml) of fresh espresso or prepare 1/2 cup (120 ml) of strong brewed coffee.
  2. While the espresso is still hot, stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar until fully dissolved. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt if desired.
  3. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of oat milk into a frother or blender and froth or blend for 20-30 seconds until creamy and velvety. Alternatively, whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  4. Fill a tall glass with 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes. Pour the sweetened espresso over the ice.
  5. Slowly add the frothed oat milk to the glass, allowing it to swirl and blend naturally with the coffee.
  6. Gently stir the latte to combine layers without overmixing. Adjust sweetness if needed by dissolving more brown sugar in a teaspoon of warm water and adding it.
  7. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Dissolve brown sugar in hot espresso to avoid graininess. Use barista-style oat milk for best froth and creaminess. Let espresso cool slightly before pouring over ice to prevent dilution and curdling. For frothing without a frother, warm oat milk slightly and whisk vigorously. Adjust sweetness to taste. Fresh espresso yields best flavor.
