Pistachio Milk Latte Creamy Fragrant

A creamy and fragrant latte featuring homemade pistachio milk, perfect for a nutty twist on your favorite coffeehouse treat.

I first tried making pistachio milk when searching for a non-dairy creamer with extra flavor. This latte turns out rich and so aromatic that it feels like a treat, and making it at home is surprisingly simple.

Ingredients

• Pistachio Milk: 1 cup raw, unsalted pistachios
• Pistachio Milk: 3 cups filtered water
• Pistachio Milk: 1 or 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)

• Pistachio Milk: Pinch of sea salt
• Latte: 2 shots (about 60 ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee
• Latte: 1 1/2 cups homemade pistachio milk (from above)
• Latte: 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
• Latte: Crushed pistachios, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Soak Pistachios:

Soak the pistachios in water overnight or for at least 6 hours. Drain and rinse well.

Blend Milk:

Blend soaked pistachios with 3 cups filtered water, vanilla extract, maple syrup or honey, and a pinch of sea salt until very smooth.

Strain:

Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve into a pitcher. Discard the solids or reserve for baking.

Heat pistachio milk gently in a saucepan, whisking until hot but not boiling. Sweeten to taste if desired.

Pour and Combine:

Pour hot pistachio milk into cups, reserving some froth. Add espresso to each cup and stir to combine.
