Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, preferably barista-style
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 shot (1 ounce/30 ml) espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 shot (about 1 ounce/30 ml) of espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) of strong brewed coffee. Pour into a heatproof mug and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup (240 ml) of oat milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling (about 150°F or 65°C), approximately 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into the warm oat milk. Whisk gently until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Froth the oat milk mixture using a handheld frother for 20-30 seconds until thick and velvety. Alternatively, whisk vigorously or shake in a jar until frothy.
  5. Slowly pour the warm, frothy oat milk over the espresso or coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then spoon the foam on top.
  6. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract gently, if using.
  7. Dust the top with extra ground cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Use barista-style oat milk for best froth and creaminess. Do not overheat oat milk beyond 160°F (70°C) to avoid separation. Stir sugar into warm milk before frothing to prevent graininess. Froth milk slowly just below the surface for dense foam. Clean frother immediately after use to maintain flavor. For extra indulgence, caramelize brown sugar briefly before adding oat milk.
