So many of my readers are fans of getting their daily coffee drinks at coffee shops and when I heard about the newest summer coffee drink from Starbucks, I knew that I had to recreate it at home. The name alone, of this coffee drink sounded so delicious. Sweet brown sugar and creamy oat milk with a rich cup of coffee made my taste buds get excited. This was a coffee latte that I knew I could make at home without even trying the popular coffee drink.

While I like visiting coffee shops for my coffee fix, my dairy allergy makes it hard. I have to keep a careful eye on the coffee barista who is making my coffee order so they don't accidentally add milk to my coffee drink. I have had a couple of bad experiences with my coffee drinks from coffee shops in the past that have resulted in me feeling sick to my stomach for hours and experiencing an asthma attack. My food allergy symptoms usually set in 1 to 2 hours after I eat any dairy products.

No long line with this fall coffee drink

Other reasons to make your own coffee at home are you save money and there is no long line in your kitchen. So you will save time when you make your coffee at home. I know that people say that coffee shop coffee tastes better but I so disagree. Brewing coffee at home tastes so much better to me. Once you learn how to brew the best coffee, you will start making your coffee drinks at home. You don't even need a fancy coffee maker to make delicious coffee at home, especially when you make cold-brew coffee.

The most important supply that you need to make a great cup of coffee at home is quality coffee beans. Don't go cheap on your coffee. It may seem that the best-tasting coffee may seem over-priced but that bag of coffee beans will pay for itself after making 3 cups of coffee. A 12-ounce bag of quality coffee may be priced between $10 -15 dollars but it will make 16 -22 cups of coffee. That fancy coffee you buy at the coffee shop runs $5 - 7 dollars a drink, so do the math.

I am a coffee snob when it comes to buying my coffee beans. Quality coffee is on a coffee lover's must-have list of products. I also like purchasing coffee beans from around the world. I also like supporting businesses that give back to the community. My latest find in quality coffee beans is from Fire Department Coffee. Their Honduran Coffee beans make a great cup of coffee. These rich coffee beans from Central America have a smooth tint and slight sweetness.

Ingredients needed for Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte

+ Coffee beans or ground coffee

+ Brown sugar

+ Oat Milk ~ See my recipe for homemade oat milk

+ Ice cubes

Three ingredients, four if you include the ice, are all you need to make this delicious summer coffee drink. The original Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee espresso drink that I discovered uses a brown sugar syrup that you can make at home but that is too time-consuming in my opinion. The copycat coffee recipe from Starbucks also uses shots of espresso and that requires one to have an espresso maker. So my recipe for an Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte is easy to make. The recipe uses a strong cup of hot brewed coffee, brown sugar, and oat milk. It is that simple!

While you can use other plant-based milks, I recommend buying oat milk as it is creamier and adds great flavor. Oat milk is a creamy, delicious, plant-based milk that is perfect for the best dairy-free cup of coffee.

How to Make Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte

Making the Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte is super easy and there is no need for fancy shaking or coffee equipment. If you can brew a cup of coffee, then you can make this dairy-free coffee drink. If you have a coffee maker, all you have to do is increase the amount of ground coffee to make the coffee richer and bolder or decrease the amount of water needed. Since you will be adding hot coffee to the oat milk, you will want stronger coffee.

If you don't have a coffee maker, I recommend buying a pour-over coffee cone. I prefer to make my coffee with the pour-over coffee method as it results in a better-tasting cup of coffee that has no bitterness. If you can boil water, you can make coffee with the pour-over coffee cone. You simply place a paper coffee filter in the pour-over cone and add the ground coffee. Then you pour the boiling water over the ground coffee to brew the coffee. The ideal temperature is 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit. I use a gooseneck water kettle that has a thermometer in it so my hot water is always at the perfect temperature.

Once you brew the coffee, you add the brown sugar to the hot coffee. The heat will dissolve the brown sugar, so no need to make fancy coffee syrup. Then let the coffee cool down by placing it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. You can make this coffee mixture the night before to save time. Then add the oat milk to a glass with ice and pour in the coffee. Stir the drink and enjoy!

Make this drink warm

Looking for a warm Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte? Then skip the fridge and add the oat milk to the coffee while it is still warm. Simply brew the coffee and stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves. Then add the oat milk and you have a delicious warm fall latte.

Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte is a creamy iced drink made with brown sugar, coffee, and oat milk.

How To Make Simple Homemade Oat Milk

How to Make Oat Milk

Making oat milk at home is so simple. Once you learn how, you will never buy store-bought plant-based milk again. This easy-to-make recipe makes a batch of smooth & creamy oat milk. Perfect for adding to coffee, cereal, and all your dairy-free recipes.

If you are looking for plant-based milk that is creamy and delicious, then oat milk is an excellent option. What I like about oat milk is it is a perfect dairy-free milk option for those with nut allergies. Oat milk is my go-to option when I am baking treats that my older daughter will be eating. My daughter has a nut allergy and I have a dairy allergy so I have to be careful with my baking when she comes over to visit.

What I love about homemade oat milk, is how quickly I can make a batch of oat milk. Unlike other non-dairy milk recipes, oat milk does not require any special equipment like nut milk bags. Making oat milk at home also does not require long soak times like homemade almond milk. The preparation of oat milk takes less than 30 minutes, so you can make oat milk quickly.

The many uses of oat milk

Have you tried oat milk? Oat milk is creamy and has a great flavor. Oat milk tastes great in coffee, and cereal, and can even be used in recipes, making it a great milk substitute for dairy-free recipes. Oat milk is also used in vegan ice cream! My latest use for oat milk is in this Dairy-Free Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte that is similar to a popular coffee shop summer drink.

Oat milk is fairly new to the plant-based beverage line in stores and may be hard to find in some grocery stores. It also may be more pricey than other plant-based milk choices. I am not sure why oat milk costs more to buy when oatmeal is cheaper than nuts. So being that I like saving money, I decided to learn how to make oat milk at home.

Homemade Oat Milk Is

+ Creamy

+ Plant-Based

+ Delicious

+ Smooth

+ Vegan

+ Dairy-Free

+ Easy To Make

+ Gluten-Free

+ Nut-Free

+ Allergy-Friendly

What's not to love about homemade oat milk if you are looking for non-dairy milk that is allergy-friendly. When you use certified gluten-free oatmeal, nut milk is a good choice for those who have gluten issues and since it is not made with nuts, those allergic to nuts can enjoy DIY oat milk. I know that coconut milk is another nut-free plant-based milk but some people have sensitivities to coconuts.

Making oat milk at home is super easy and other than needing oatmeal, you don't need to run out and buy any fancy high-speed blender. You can use a regular blender to make homemade oat milk at home. The other items that you need to make this delicious creamy homemade oat milk are ones that you probably have in your kitchen or don't cost that much to buy.

Items Needed To Make Oat Milk

+ Oatmeal ~ Whole rolled oats work best in this oat milk recipe

+ Sweetener ~ If you desire sweet-tasting oat milk. I like using maple syrup as it dissolves quickly

+ Water ~ While filter water is best, you can use tap water

+ Fine Mesh Strainer or Nut Milk Bag

+ Large Coffee Filters ~ To fine strain the oat milk

+ Blender ~ A high-speed blender works best but you can use a regular blender

Should I Soak The Oatmeal?

While I was searching for the best oat milk recipe, I discovered some recipes that had you soaking the oatmeal for 15 minutes and then rinsing. Other oat milk recipes did not require the soaking of the oats. So I decided to make a couple of batches of oat milk to see if soaking made any difference in the taste or texture of the oat milk. I got the best results when I soaked the oatmeal for 15 minutes without rinsing the water. So soak the oatmeal in the water in the blender before blending.

Can I Use Oat Milk in My Coffee?

I have found that homemade oat milk works best in cold coffee drinks. When I add oat milk to my hot coffee, it tends to curdle and get too thick. Maybe because I microwave my coffee after I make it or I tend to slowly drink my coffee. I am not sure the reason homemade oat milk curdles in hot coffee. So I recommend just using this oat milk in cold coffee drinks.

If you want to use oat milk in hot coffee, make sure to add it to your coffee right before you drink it. Also don't microwave the coffee after adding the oat milk.

Can I Use Instant Oatmeal Or Steel Cut Oats?

From my research in making oat milk yourself, every recipe that I have seen, recommends using rolled oats for best results. So make sure to buy rolled oats and not instant oatmeal. That way your oat milk will be smooth and creamy.

Can I Use Regular Sugar To Sweeten The Oat Milk?

The reason this oat milk recipe calls for maple syrup is that it dissolves better in the liquid. Since this oat milk recipe uses cold water, regular sugar would not dissolve and your milk would have a grainy texture. You can try honey or agave to sweeten the oat milk but I think that maple syrup adds better flavor and is thinner, so it will dissolve better in the milk.

How to Use Oat Milk

Once you’ve made oat milk, use it as you would dairy milk, cashew milk, or any other type of milk you like. I don’t recommend using it in savory recipes since it has an oatmeal flavor. I use this oat milk in my cold coffee drinks, cookie recipes, overnight oats, and other sweet recipes. Oat milk is perfect for dairy-free vegan recipes.
