Can you use brown sugar in coffee

Yes, brown sugar adds sweet and caramelized notes to your coffee and is one of my favorite ways to perk up my iced coffees. This shaken espresso with brown sugar is the perfect combo.

Ingredients and tools you will need

• Double shot espresso for that caffeine boost
• Milk, I like using unsweetened hemp milk or extra creamy oat milk, but any milk works.
• Brown sugar adds sweetness with caramel undertones.
• Cinnamon a dash of cinnamon to add that extra layer of deliciousness
• Ice cubes to make it cold
• Mason jar or cocktail shaker with lid - where the magic happens with a few shakes to get a frothy shaken espresso

How to make brown sugar shaken espresso

Step 1

In a mason jar add ice cubes, pour in double shot espresso, 1 to 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon.

Step 2

Close the lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Pour in nut milk, top with more ice and give it a stir and enjoy.

Recipe Variations

Any milk works here. I personally love how hemp milk and oat milk taste with this shaken espresso. The hemp milk is extra creamy. If you want to do a copycat Starbucks brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso then use oat milk.

You can change up the flavor and get creative. You can try hazelnut syrup for a Hazelnut Shaken Espresso or swap in vanilla syrup, coconut syrup, the options are endless.
