As you shake the mixture, it gets frothy and divinely bubbly (not quite as foamy as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/whipped-coffee-dalgona-coffee\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/whipped-coffee-dalgona-coffee\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dalgona coffee<\/a>, though).

For the best taste, we suggest using 6 ounces of coffee cooled to room temperature.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make a brown sugar shaken espresso less sweet?<\/h3>\n<p>The standard recipe for a grande Starbucks brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso calls for four pumps of brown sugar syrup (roughly 4 tablespoons). Most will say it&#8217;s a sweet drink, but that&#8217;s subjective to individual taste. If you like your shaken espresso less sweet, reduce the syrup.
