Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 oz espresso shots
- 1 tablespoon pistachio paste
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tablespoon brown butter (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the milk: Warm the milk either in a microwave or on the stovetop using a saucepan until hot but not boiling to create the perfect base for your latte.
- Combine ingredients: In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, pour the hot milk, then add freshly brewed espresso shots, pistachio paste, sweetened condensed milk, and the optional brown butter for a richer flavor.
- Froth the latte: Use a handheld milk frother to blend all the ingredients together until the mixture becomes frothy and well combined, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the frothy pistachio latte into your favorite cup and garnish with chopped pistachios or a sprinkle of pistachio powder if desired for an extra nutty crunch and aesthetic appeal.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture or substitute with plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk to taste.
- Brown butter adds a nutty, caramel-like depth but can be omitted if preferred.
- Espresso shots can be replaced with strong brewed coffee if an espresso machine is not available.
- Garnish with crushed pistachios or a dusting of cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.
