Ingredients

  • 3 oz brewed blonde roast espresso  (or strongly brewed coffee)
  • 2 oz horchata syrup (recipe below or store-bought)
  • Ice
  • 4 oz oat milk (or dairy or non-dairy alternative of your choice)
  • Ground cinnamon for topping

Horchata Syrup

  • 1 ½ cups water divided
  • ½ cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pour cooled espresso and horchata syrup into a mason jar or cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until espresso is nice and frothy.
  • Pour entire contents of shaker (ice included) into a glass. Top with oat milk. Sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired.

Horchata Syrup

  • Mix 1 cup water and white rice in a bowl and stir to combine. Cover and let steep in the fridge for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Strain the rice mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a separate bowl, leaving rice behind. You can either discard the rice or save it for another use.
  • Put rice water, additional ½ cup water, sugar, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, lower heat and let mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, until syrup has thickened (note that it will continue to thicken as it cools). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Pour syrup into a mason jar or bowl and place in fridge to cool completely before using. Keep cinnamon stick in syrup for at least 4 hours for full cinnamon flavor.

Notes

  • Horchata syrup should stay fresh for about a month when stored properly in the fridge.
