A quick and easy 5-minute recipe for a creamy, nutty pistachio latte made with fresh pistachios, espresso, and warm milk. Perfect for cozy moments and a delightful twist on your daily coffee routine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup fresh pistachios, shelled and unsalted
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml), or oat/almond milk for dairy-free option
  • 1/2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee (120 ml)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: whipped cream for topping
  • Optional: ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add 1/4 cup shelled pistachios to a blender or food processor. Pulse until finely ground, then add 1 tablespoon of whole milk and blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add a splash more milk if needed for a thick nut butter consistency.
  2. Brew 1/2 cup (120 ml) of espresso or strong coffee and keep hot.
  3. Pour remaining 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk into a small saucepan and gently heat over medium-low for 2 to 3 minutes until warm but not boiling. Froth the milk using a handheld frother or whisk vigorously by hand.
  4. Stir 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the pistachio paste. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Pour pistachio paste into a serving mug. Slowly add hot espresso or coffee, stirring gently to combine. Pour in warmed milk, holding back foam with a spoon, then top with frothy milk foam.
  6. Optional: Add whipped cream or sprinkle ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra flavor.

Notes

Soak pistachios in warm water for 10 minutes before blending if paste is not smooth. Avoid boiling milk to prevent scorched taste. Use whole milk for best creaminess or oat milk for dairy-free frothing. Store leftover pistachio paste airtight in fridge up to 3 days. Reheat gently with milk before use.
