Notes
The quality of the pistachio butter matters and makes a huge difference. Many of the spreads include sugar, salt, or are made from flavored pastes or syrups. I prefer a more natural butter that doesn't have either, which allows me to manually adjust for my taste preferences.
Stir the butter before using. Natural butters have an oil that will naturally separate over time.
You can adjust the sweetness and intensity of the latte. Some spreads are subtly nutty while others are sweet like a dessert.
For an iced pistachio latte, skip heating the milk. Blend cold milk with the pistachio butter. Pour your espresso over ice and then add the pistachio milk.
You can make a quick cold foam by frothing cold milk with a bit of the pistachio butter and spooning it on top of your drink!
I love this latte with my Pistachio Muffins, Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread, or my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread for a quick breakfast.
