Essentials

- Sweetener to taste (honey, sugar, or preferred sweetener)

- 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.
- 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.
- Add Pistachio Flavor: Stir the pistachio syrup or paste into the hot coffee thoroughly to blend all the nutty, sweet layers into every sip.
- 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.
