    Expert Tips

    • Use freshly brewed espresso coffee for the best taste. Stale or reheated coffee can affect the flavor of your drink.
    • When making the brown sugar syrup, stir the sugar and water together until the sugar has completely dissolved. This will help prevent any graininess in your syrup.
    • Let the brown sugar syrup cool completely before adding it to the shaker. This will prevent the ice from melting too quickly and diluting your drink.
    • Shake the mixture vigorously to ensure that the oat milk is well incorporated and frothy. This will create a creamy and smooth texture.
    • Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the top of your drink for an extra touch of flavor and aroma.

    Variations

    • Vanilla Brown Sugar: Add a splash of vanilla extract to the brown sugar syrup for a delicious vanilla flavor.
    • Caramel Brown Sugar: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce to the brown sugar syrup for a caramel flavor.
    • Chocolate Brown Sugar: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the brown sugar syrup for a chocolate flavor.
    • Spiced Brown Sugar: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the brown sugar syrup for a spiced flavor.
    • Coconut Brown Sugar: Use coconut milk instead of oat milk for a creamy coconut flavor.
    • Almond Brown Sugar: Use almond milk instead of oat milk for a nutty flavor.
    • Mocha Brown Sugar: Add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup to the brown sugar syrup and coffee mixture for a mocha flavor.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Store the cooled brown sugar syrup in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to use it, give it a good shake because the brown sugar can clump together.

    Freezing: Place the cooled syrup in a freezer safe container and store for up to 3 months in the freezer.
