Ingredients
  

Brown sugar syrup
  • ¼ c brown sugar
  • ¼ c water
Coffee
  • 2 oz espresso a.k.a. a double shot
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ - ½ c milk of your choice
  • Ice

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker or jar with tight fitting lid
  • Ideally an espresso machine

Method
 

  1. Make the brown sugar syrup by combining the brown sugar and water in a saucepan. Whisk and cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved, 2-3 minutes. Set aside to lightly cool.
  2. Brew the espresso shot (I love a double one!) Pour the shot into a cocktail shaker (or jar with tight fitting lid) filled with ice. Add in your desired amount of brown sugar syrup (I like to use 2 Tbsp) and cinnamon. Cover the shaker and shake very well.
  3. Pour the contents of the shaker, including the ice, into a glass and top with milk.
  4. Lightly stir and enjoy!
