Cardamom Brown Sugar Oat Milk Iced Americano

Ingredients

  • 4 shots120 gEspressofreshly brewed, hot
  • 1½ tbsp packed22 gBrown sugarpacked
  • ¼ tsp0.5 gGround cardamom
  • ½ tsp2 gVanilla extract
  • a pinch0.3 gSalt
  • ⅓ cup25 gOld-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1½ cups360 gWatercold, divided

Steps

  1. Make the sweetener first: in a heatproof glass measuring cup, stir the hot espresso with the brown sugar, cardamom and salt until the sugar fully dissolves, then let it cool for a few minutes.
  2. Make the oat milk: put the oats and about 160 g (roughly 2/3 cup) of the cold water in the blender and blend for 30 to 45 seconds, just until smooth and creamy; blending longer can make it gummy.
  3. Add the vanilla to the oat milk in the blender and blend 10 seconds more to froth it.
  4. Fill two glasses with ice and divide the remaining 200 g (roughly 5/6 cup) of cold water between them.
  5. Pour half of the sweetened espresso into each glass and stir.
  6. Spoon half of the frothy oat milk over each glass, letting it cascade into the coffee, and serve right away.
