Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 latte
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl or cup, combine 1/2 tablespoon of pistachio butter with 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk.
2. Gradually add hot water to the mixture, stirring consistently. Add water bit by bit until the sauce reaches a smooth and pourable consistency.
3. Prepare the espresso or strong brewed coffee as you ordinarily would. If using an espresso machine, pull one shot of espresso into your latte glass. For strong brewed coffee, aim for about 1/4 cup.
4. Warm the pistachio sauce. You can do this in a saucepan on the stove over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning, or by microwaving it in short bursts, checking and stirring between each burst.
5. Pour the warm pistachio sauce into the glass over the espresso or coffee, and stir to combine thoroughly.
6. Steam your milk until it's heated through and has a frothy, airy texture. If you don't have a steam wand, you can heat the milk gently on the stove or in the microwave and then froth it with a milk frother or shake it in a sealed jar.
7. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the glass with the pistachio-coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to let the liquid milk mix in first. Once you have almost filled the glass, add a spoonful or two of foam on top.
8. For a visual and textural treat, garnish the latte with crushed pistachios if you have them on hand – make sure they're unsalted and not flavored as that will impact the taste of the latte.
9. Enjoy your homemade pistachio latte immediately, preferably while it's warm and frothy.
Cooking Tips:
- If you can't find pistachio butter, you can make your own by blending roasted, unsalted pistachios in a food processor until smooth.
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk if you prefer a less sweet latte.
- To keep your drink warmer longer, preheat your latte glass with hot water before assembling the drink.
