Instructions
- Add the coffee and water to the French press, stir, and put the lid on. Steep for 4 minutes.
- While it steeps, warm the oat milk with the brown sugar until steaming but not boiling. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the warm milk into a clean jar and froth it by pumping the clean French press plunger, or use a handheld frother.
- Press the plunger on the coffee slowly and pour about half a cup into a mug.
- Top with the frothed milk and a pinch of cinnamon.
Tip: use a barista-style oat milk if you can. It froths more easily than most regular oat milks.
