Ingredients
- 1-2 shots espresso
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
- A splash of oat milk (or your go-to milk choice)
Tools You’ll Need
- Espresso machine: Every serious at-home barista needs this coffee product. A shot of espresso turns every coffee drink into a coffee shop-quality sipper.
- Mason jar with lid: Shaking your coffee drink with a mason jar thoroughly incorporates the brown sugar and cinnamon with the espresso.
- Reusable straw: While this may not be an essential item, sipping out of a metal reusable straw will elevate your coffee drinking experience.
Directions
Step 1: Prepare your espresso
Make a shot (or two, if it’s that kind of day) using an espresso maker. Extra points if you use a bag of PRESIDIO from Karl The Fog Coffee. Then, pour your espresso into your mason jar.
Editor’s Tip: If you don’t own an espresso maker, you can also use freshly brewed coffee from a coffee maker. I used regular ol’ coffee and it worked just as well!
Step 2: Add fix-ins
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a handful of ice to the mason jar.
Editor’s Tip: Rachel Wilke, Taste of Home Senior Social Media Editor and Designer recommends adding a tablespoon of honey and vanilla extract (or paste) for extra sweetness.
Step 3: Shake and serve!
Shake and shake and shake until the ingredients are combined. Grab your oat milk and pour over your coffee masterpiece. Drink right out of your mason jar or pour into your favorite iced coffee glass with a reusable straw.
