Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
Crushed pistachios for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Make the Pistachio Milk: Blend the pistachios, water, and honey/maple syrup in a high-speed blender until smooth. Strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove any solids.
Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the pistachio milk and your choice of regular milk. Stir in vanilla extract and cinnamon, if using. Heat until hot but not boiling.
Brew the Coffee: Prepare a shot of espresso or brew strong coffee.
Froth the Milk: Use a frother or whisk to create a light foam in the heated pistachio milk mixture.
Assemble the Latte: Pour the brewed coffee into a cup and add the pistachio milk mixture. Stir to combine.
Garnish & Serve: Top with crushed pistachios for extra flavor and texture. Enjoy hot or pour over ice for a refreshing iced pistachio latte!

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, use oat or coconut milk.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup.
If you don’t have a frother, shake the milk in a sealed jar or blend for a foamy texture.
Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the pistachio flavor.
