Print Recipe

A cool, creamy, and nutty iced espresso drink made with homemade toasted oat milk and vanilla syrup, shaken to frothy perfection. Perfect for a refreshing summer pick-me-up without dairy or heavy sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) freshly brewed espresso (or strong brewed coffee/instant espresso powder)
  • ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats, toasted
  • 2 cups (480 ml) filtered water
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) vanilla syrup or homemade vanilla simple syrup
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • Optional: 1 tsp (5 ml) maple syrup or agave nectar for extra sweetness

Instructions

  1. Toast the oats: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add ½ cup rolled oats and stir frequently for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the oat milk: Transfer toasted oats to a blender. Add 2 cups cold filtered water. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Strain through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher. Press to extract as much liquid as possible.
  3. Brew the espresso: Prepare 2 shots (60 ml / 2 fl oz) of espresso using your espresso machine, moka pot, or Aeropress. If using instant espresso powder, dissolve 1-2 tsp in 2 oz hot water.
  4. Assemble and shake: In a shaker or jar, combine hot espresso, 2 tbsp vanilla syrup, and 1 cup ice cubes. Seal and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds until frothy and chilled.
  5. Pour and add oat milk: Fill a tall glass with ice. Strain the shaken espresso mixture into the glass. Top with ½ cup (120 ml) toasted oat milk. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Optional sweetener: Taste and add 1 tsp maple syrup or agave nectar if desired. Stir lightly.
  7. Serve immediately while cold and frothy.

Notes

Toast oats carefully to avoid burning for best flavor. Shake espresso with ice vigorously to create frothy texture. Strain oat milk for smoothness. Brew espresso fresh and shake immediately for best taste. Store leftover oat milk in fridge up to 3 days, but make espresso fresh each time.
