Instructions

Step 1: Brew Your Espresso
Start by pulling a fresh shot of espresso using your preferred method—whether that’s an espresso machine, stovetop pot, or a strong drip coffee substitute. Aim for a robust and concentrated flavor to stand up against the creaminess.
Step 2: Heat and Froth the Milk
Gently warm your milk on the stovetop or with a milk frother. Froth the milk until it achieves a light, airy texture that creates a smooth and creamy mouthfeel.
Step 3: Mix Pistachio Syrup
Add the pistachio syrup to the warm milk and stir well to evenly disperse the nutty flavor. Adjust the syrup quantity based on how sweet and nutty you want your latte.
Step 4: Combine Espresso and Milk Mixture
Pour the freshly brewed espresso shot into your favorite mug. Slowly add the pistachio-infused milk, reserving some foam to spoon on top to achieve the classic latte look.
Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle chopped pistachios if desired for added crunch and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, nutty blend.

Notes

Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor intensity.
Heat milk to about 150°F to achieve optimal froth without scalding.
Taste and adjust the pistachio syrup amount to balance sweetness and coffee bitterness.
Choose high-quality or homemade pistachio syrup for authentic nutty flavor.
Pour milk slowly over espresso to create a layered presentation with rich crema.
