Why You'll Love It

There’s something incredibly satisfying about recreating your favorite iced latte at home—and this recipe proves how easy it can be. By brewing directly over brown sugar and vanilla extract, the flavors melt together without needing to make syrup separately.

Using the AeroPress with finely ground coffee and a small amount of water creates a rich, espresso-style base. When shaken with ice, the drink gets chilled and slightly frothy—adding texture and balance before oat milk is layered on top.

Prefer a shortcut? You can batch a homemade brown sugar vanilla syrup to use all week long. Customize the sweetness or switch up the milk, but we find oat milk pairs especially well with the caramel-like flavor of the brown sugar.

Directions

Add brown sugar and vanilla to the bottom of the carafe you’ll be brewing into.
Make espresso-style coffee in the AeroPress. Use the flow control cap and add 18g of finely ground coffee to the AeroPress, adding 100g of water on top, stirring back and forth 10-15 times, letting brew for 2 minutes, and slowly pushing down directly into the carafe with the brown sugar and vanilla.
Stir the coffee sugar mixture to dissolve the brown sugar as the coffee cools.
Add ice to a cocktail shaker, add sweetened coffee mixture and shake for 20-30 seconds.
Add ice to a glass and add coffee. Then layer on milk.
Stir & enjoy.

Recipe Note

You can make the brown sugar/vanilla mixture in bulk by mixing ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and ½ cup water to a skillet and heating until sugar is dissolved. Then use 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup for each latte.
Any milk works, but I find oat millk pairs best with the brown sugar.
