Coffee vs Espresso
This recipe calls for a shot of espresso. Many people wonder what the difference is between espresso and coffee, and if they can be used interchangeably in mixed drinks such as this.
Espresso has a bold flavor with a thicker consistency than coffee. It is made from finely-ground beans that have been brewed under high pressure with a high grounds-to-water ratio. This makes a shot of espresso the perfect base for making iced or blended coffee drinks. The other ingredients balance out the strong flavor of the espresso rather than water it down. Coffee is a thinner, less concentrated drink that tends to have a milder flavor and the ground used to brew are coarser.
If you don't have an espresso machine at home and still want to make a brown sugar and oat milk shaken espresso there are a couple of options:
• use 1/2 cup of very strongly-brewed coffee from your home coffee maker
• make instant espresso using espresso powder before proceeding with the recipe
