It is the perfect, straightforward way to upgrade your daily coffee routine.
Ingredients
2 shots freshly brewed espresso
1.5 tsp brown sugar
0.125 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup ice cubes
6 oz hemp milk
Instructions
Combine the hot espresso shots, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a handful of ice cubes into a mason jar or cocktail shaker.
Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until the mixture is cold and develops a thick, creamy foam.
Pour the shaken espresso mixture into a tall glass.
Top with chilled hemp milk to create a layered effect.
Add a few extra ice cubes if desired, give it a quick swirl, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure espresso is fresh and hot to help the brown sugar dissolve completely. You can swap hemp milk for oat or almond milk if preferred. If you desire a sweeter drink, add an extra half teaspoon of brown sugar, though the balance of bold espresso and sweetness is intended to be subtle.
