Ingredients

Scale

Essentials

  • 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons pistachio syrup or pistachio paste

Optional

  • Sweetener to taste (honey, sugar, or preferred sweetener)
  • Whipped cream or milk foam for topping
  • Chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew Your Coffee: Start by preparing a fresh shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine. This bold coffee base balances nicely with the pistachio’s sweetness.
  2. Heat and Froth the Milk: Warm your milk until hot but not boiling, then froth it to achieve a creamy, airy texture essential for a latte.
  3. Add Pistachio Flavor: Stir the pistachio syrup or paste into the hot coffee thoroughly to blend all the nutty, sweet layers into every sip.
  4. Combine and Serve: Pour the steamed milk into your coffee and pistachio mixture, holding back some foam to spoon on top. Garnish with whipped cream and chopped pistachios if desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso or coffee for the best flavor quality.
  • Adjust the amount of pistachio syrup to control sweetness and avoid overpowering the drink.
  • Heat milk just enough and froth properly to get the perfect creamy texture.
  • Consider making homemade pistachio syrup for a natural and customizable flavor.
  • Garnish with chopped pistachios for added crunch and visual appeal.
