Indulge in the perfect blend of rich espresso, creamy oat milk, and aromatic toasted vanilla with this homemade version of a popular coffee shop favorite. This recipe draws inspiration from the growing trend of plant-based milk alternatives in coffee culture, combining the smooth texture of oat milk with the bold flavor of espresso.
We use freshly brewed espresso from medium-dark roast beans, ground just before brewing for optimal flavor. The toasted vanilla syrup adds a warm, comforting note that complements the nutty undertones of the oat milk. The shaking technique creates a velvety foam that makes every sip a delight. This drink is perfect for those looking for a dairy-free option that doesn't compromise on taste or texture.
