1/2 cup ice cubes
3/4 cup steamed milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Brew two shots of hot espresso using your preferred method.
2. Add the espresso to a shaker or mason jar along with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
3. Add ice to the shaker, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
4. Steam the milk until hot and frothy.
5. Pour steamed milk into your serving cup.
6. Strain the shaken espresso over the hot milk.

Notes
Always shake the espresso while it’s hot to help the sugar dissolve fully and create foam.
Use high-quality cinnamon and fresh espresso for the best flavor.
Oat milk creates a beautifully creamy texture and complements the brown sugar perfectly.
