Instructions
- Begin by preparing your espresso. Brew 2 shots of espresso using your preferred method, whether it's an espresso machine, stovetop Moka pot, or an Aeropress. Once brewed, set the espresso aside to cool slightly.
- While the espresso is cooling, gather your other ingredients: 1 cup of oat milk, 1 tablespoon of apple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Make sure you have ice ready for the drink.
- In a shaker or a large glass, combine the cooled espresso, oat milk, apple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Next, fill a glass with ice cubes. You can use a tall glass or a mason jar for a more rustic presentation.
- Pour the espresso mixture over the ice-filled glass, allowing the cold drink to chill further as it mixes with the ice.
- Optionally, you can garnish your drink with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon on top for added flavor and presentation.
- Stir the drink gently before enjoying to ensure all the flavors are well combined. Sip and enjoy your homemade Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso!
Tips
- Espresso Quality Matters: Use high-quality coffee beans for your espresso to enhance the overall flavor of your drink. Freshly ground beans will yield the best results.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra refreshing drink, consider chilling your oat milk before mixing it with the espresso. This will help maintain the drink's cold temperature longer.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of apple syrup to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter drink, feel free to add more syrup or even a drizzle of caramel for an extra indulgent twist.
- Experiment with Spices: While cinnamon is a classic choice, don’t hesitate to experiment with other spices like nutmeg or even a dash of vanilla extract for a unique flavor profile.
- Presentation is Key: Use a clear glass to showcase the beautiful layers of your drink. A tall glass or mason jar can add a rustic charm that’s perfect for social media sharing.
- Garnish for Flair: A sprinkle of cinnamon on top not only adds flavor but also makes your drink visually appealing. You can also add a slice of apple for an extra touch.
- Stir Before Sipping: Make sure to stir your drink before enjoying it to ensure all the flavors are well combined and you get that perfect blend of apple, cinnamon, and espresso in every sip!
