Scale
Apple Brown Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 small apples, core removed, diced (2 cups diced)
- 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
- 2-3 shots of espresso
- 2 tbsp apple brown sugar syrup
- Large handful ice
- 1/3-1/2 cup oat milk
- Ground cinnamon (as garnish, optional)
Instructions
Apple Brown Sugar Syrup
- Add brown sugar, water, diced apples, and apple pie spice to a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Take the syrup off the heat, stir in vanilla extract and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the syrup into a large jar or a bowl through a fine mesh strainer. Use a spoon to squeeze out as much syrup out of the apples as possible.
- Transfer the syrup to an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Wait for the syrup to cool completely before closing with a lid.
Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
- Brew 2-3 shots of espresso and add them to a large mason jar with apple brown sugar syrup and ice.
- Shake the jar vigorously for at least 5 seconds until very frothy.
- Pour the drink into a tall glass (including the ice) and top with oat milk.
- Lightly dust the drink with cinnamon if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- The recipe yields 1 ⅓ cup syrup which makes about 12 servings if you use 2 tbsp per serving.
- If you want a stronger molasses flavor, use dark brown sugar instead.
- Starbucks drink size measurements:
- Tall: 2 shots espresso, 1-2 tbsp syrup, ¼ cup oat milk
- Grande: 3 shots espresso, 2-3 tbsp syrup, ⅓ cup oat milk
- Venti: 4 shots espresso, 3-4 tbsp syrup, ½ cup oat milk
- Starbucks shaken espresso generally has less milk and more coffee than a regular latte would have. I usually end up adding ½ to a grande size but it depends on your preference.
