〰

Syrup drizzle

Streak brown sugar syrup down the glass walls before adding ice.

Before adding ice, tilt the glass and drizzle syrup down the inside walls in thin stripes for a café-style swirl.

◐

Spoon-back layering

Pour oat milk over a spoon last for a creamy cloud on top.

Hold a spoon upside down just above the drink's surface and pour slowly over its back so the liquid spreads gently and floats in a crisp layer.

Cute toppings

Dust with cinnamon through a small sieve.

Finish with a light sprinkle right before serving so it sits on the foam instead of sinking.
