In a microwave-safe bowl, combine brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then stir until the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool (it will thicken slightly). -
Prepare the Espresso:
Brew 3 shots of blonde espresso or use ½ cup of cold brew coffee. -

Add ice to a mason jar or cup. Pour in the brown sugar syrup and espresso (or cold brew). Close the lid tightly and shake until frothy. -
Finish and Serve:
Remove the lid and pour in oat milk. Stir to combine, and enjoy!
Notes
- Creamier texture: Add heavy cream or coconut milk for an extra smooth and rich drink.
- More spice: Boost the fall flavors by adding more cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg.
- Sweetener options: Adjust the sweetness with more or less brown sugar, or substitute with maple syrup for a different twist.
