I’m IN LOVE with a pistachio latte. My fave is from Tatte but I like the one from pavement coffee too. Unfortunately, I live in one of the most expensive cities in the county and they are pricey.

They fall into the category of “small things getting me through” as I’m going through a bit of a difficult transition. Still, I don’t want to keep recklessly spending lol. So today I made my own pistachio syrup. I think it’ll last for at least a good 14ish lattes (I don’t use sugar in my coffee at home normally so I’d only use a tiny spoon for each one). I’ve got an espresso machine so… cheers.

I measured with my heart but I made it using sugar, water, ground pistachios (I just blended them in my nutribullet), vanilla bean paste, a dash of almond extract, a pinch of nutmeg, some cinnamon and maybe a teaspoon(ish) of pure maple syrup. Cooked it until well blended and cooled until thick. Made it up as I went (usually how I cook and bake) but it’s delicious! I meant to add some salt but didn’t. I think it’s ok without it though.

    I may need to try this. I love Pistachio lattes. I’ve been getting the international delight creamer to help offset the Starbucks run cost.

    Interesting!

    I’ve never actually heard of a pistachio latte!

    I thought you were being extra healthy by replacing your latte with soup.

    If you don’t feel like going through the trouble of making your own syrup next time, I’ve bought pistachio syrup at TJ MAXX for $14 ish that lasts forever!

    I’ve been making my own creamer for 2 years now too. I do it bc I can control the ingredients better and it feels like less of a guilty pleasure and more of a deliberate, healthy choice. I’ll have to try this, thanks for sharing!

    I’ve got a Costco sized bag of pistachios. Tell me how you would make your latte with this?

    I feel like I can never recreate a store bought flavored coffee at home no matter how hard I try.

    If you want a “saucier” option, blend your pistachio puree into sweetened condensed milk. They make vegan versions for non-dairy folks. Thin out as needed with your regular milk/non dairy milk. Store in fridge to make it last longer if you don’t have hella sugar in it.

    You also can freeze condensed milks, so smaller fresher batches can be made. Pistachio butter should be good for a while!
