If you prefer not to use espresso or don’t have an espresso machine, you can opt for a strong coffee instead. This drink is so easy to make at home that there is really no reason to spend $5 on it! Here’s a quick overview of the recipe with each step broken down! Step 1: The Espressoīrew up two shots of your favorite espresso! I have the Nespresso Vertuo and I personally love to use the Double Espresso Dulce and Voltesso. If you’re someone on a tight budget (hint, hint….college kids) this is a great option for you. The best part is that it will not take you very long to do! It’s a quick 5-minute recipe that’ll leave you craving more! It is perfect to whip up in the morning and will not take much time or effort. Instead, I decided to make a single-serve version of the recipe that makes just enough for one person without the hassle of the syrup.

An issue with that is that I never know what to do with all the leftover syrup. All you have to do is invest a few minutes of your time to make this (still a lot shorter than those drive throughs!) A lot of the recipes I have seen for the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso requires whipping up a batch of brown sugar syrup. This turns out just like the Starbucks original that I love without Starbucks’ super long ingredients list. I love treating myself to the occasional Starbucks but ever since I bought my Nespresso, I am trying to refrain from spending money on coffee! And I knew that I could definitely make my own version at home with no syrup! It’s a great lower sugar, lower calorie option in comparison to their other syrupy drinks. Lately, my go-to drink at Starbucks has been the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso.

This Homemade Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is made with simple ingredients that you can actually pronounce!
