Brew shots of espresso (or strong coffee).

A hand is shown from the side, pressing down on a golden pump attached to a bottle of Torani Brown Sugar Cinnamon syrup. Next to the bottle is a clear glass with ice cubes inside. The items are on a light-colored wooden surface against a plain white wall.

Top with oat milk and stir gently.

Measurements

To make this true to Starbucks sizes, here are some measurements for your syrup and espresso:

  • Tall: 2 shots espresso, 2 pumps (2 tablespoons) syrup
  • Grande: 3 shots espresso, 3 pumps (3 tablespoons) syrup
  • Venti: 4 shots espresso, 4 pumps (4 tablespoons) syrup

Variations

  • Sweeter Drink: Add an extra pump or two of syrup
  • Stronger Coffee Kick: To make it stronger, add another shot or two of espresso.
  • Spiced Twist: Add a dash of nutmeg or vanilla extract.
  • Creamier: Starbucks uses this brand of oatmilk, but I like to use a lower calorie version and I add a splash or two of this to make it creamier.

What kind of coffee maker do you use?

I like this coffee maker. I always want the biggest bang for my buck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without espresso?

Yes! Use very strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate as a substitute.

How do I make it less sweet?

Reduce the brown sugar syrup to 1 tablespoon and adjust to taste.

Can I make a hot version?

Yes—skip the ice and shake the espresso with syrup and cinnamon, then top with warm oat milk.
