Ingredients

For the brown sugar syrup:

⅓ Cup water
¼ Cup brown sugar
1 Tsp vanilla extract
1 Cinnamon stick

For the shaken iced espresso:

1 Shot of espresso
2 Tbsp brown sugar syrup
½ Cup milk
2 Cups ice

Instructions

Prepare the brown sugar syrup. In a small pot over medium heat combine the water, brown sugar, vanilla, and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and thickened. Remove from heat and transfer to a jar.
Once you are ready to prepare the latte fill a shaker with 1 cup ice. Add the espresso and the brown sugar syrup and vigorously shake.
Fill a glass with the remaining 1 cup ice and pour the iced coffee over it. Top with the milk and serve.

Notes

You can store the brown sugar syrup for up to a week refrigerated.
Feel free to use any milk you want. This works great with traditional milk or any plant based milk.
