If you've tried the Starbucks Iced Horchata Shaken Espresso, you'll love this easy copycat recipe! It's creamy, sweet, and balanced while also refreshing with that signature Horchata flavor. I love that it can be made right at home in 10 minutes or less!
Heat the oatmilk on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave.
When warm, whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
If on the stovetop, let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, whisking often. Let cool.
Meanwhile, brew the espresso and pour over a glass filled with ice.
Add in the Creamy Horchata and either shake (if in a mason jar) or stir. Enjoy!

Notes
The oatmilk "Horchata" makes 4 servings. Feel free to store the leftovers in the fridge and stir right before using again!
You can make a single serving of the Horchata by adding all of the ingredients into the hot espresso and whisking them together. Add ice, then pour in the milk for a single-serve shortcut!
While traditional Horchata is made with rice milk, I have found that creamy oatmilk creates a better texture for this coffee drink and is more similar to the coffee shop version. Feel free to use rice milk if preferred, though!
