This pistachio milk latte features homemade nut milk blended until silky smooth, paired with robust espresso for a delightful café-style beverage. Begin by soaking the pistachios to soften, then blend with vanilla, filtered water, and a sweetener of choice. Strain for a creamy texture, gently heat, and combine with freshly brewed coffee. Top with froth and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for extra crunch. Serve warm, or chill the milk for an iced option. The result is a fragrant, nutty drink that offers a unique twist on classic coffeehouse favorites, with vegetarian and gluten-free versatility.
