Brown Sugar Oat Milk Latte Recipe (Copycat Drink) ☕️🥛
The Brown Sugar Oat Milk Latte is a rich and creamy beverage that combines the sweetness of brown sugar with the smooth texture of oat milk, making it a perfect dairy-free alternative. This delightful drink is not only delicious but also comforting, ideal for any time of day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat milk preferably unsweetened
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional for extra flavor
- 1 tablespoon water for dissolving sugar
- 1 pinch sea salt to enhance flavor
- 1 tablespoon whipped oat cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a brown sugar syrup. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Brew your coffee or espresso while the syrup is being prepared. Use approximately 1 cup of strong coffee or two shots of espresso for a more intense flavor.
- Once the syrup is ready, remove it from heat and add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat until warm, but do not bring it to a boil. Alternatively, froth the oat milk using a milk frother for a creamy texture.
- In each serving glass, pour in the brewed coffee followed by the brown sugar syrup. Stir to mix thoroughly.
- Top each glass with the warmed oat milk, pouring slowly to create a layered effect if desired. Finish with a dollop of whipped oat cream on top.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with an additional sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of brown sugar syrup on top.
