Ingredients
- For the DIY Spiced Apple Crisp Syrup (makes ½ cup):
- ½ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks, or 1 tsp packed ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup apple juice
- Pinch of salt
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- For the Drink:
- 1 double shot of blonde espresso
- 1-2 Tbsp apple syrup
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 cup Oatsome Barista
Directions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and pinch of salt.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Once simmering, reduce to low and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don’t let the syrup boil. The syrup should begin to thicken.
- Remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Let cool completely at room temperature. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- To Make the Shaken Espresso:
- Add one double shot of freshly brewed espresso and 1-2 tbsp (to taste) of the apple crisp syrup in the sealable jar. You can add more syrup as needed later.
- Add 4-5 ice cubes, place the lid on the jar, and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds.
- Pour the espresso and syrup mixture into your drinking glass (being sure not to add the ice cubes).
- Add fresh ice cubes to the espresso mixture.
- Pour the amount of Oatsome Barista you prefer into the glass. Taste and add more syrup if needed.
- Enjoy your Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Shaken Espresso!
