Instructions

Prepare Coffee Base: Brew one shot of espresso or 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee and set it aside to keep warm.
Warm and Froth Pistachio Milk: Heat the pistachio milk gently in a small saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling. Stir in the pistachio syrup and vanilla extract if using. Froth this mixture using a milk frother or whisk vigorously until light and airy.
Combine Coffee and Frothed Milk: Pour the prepared espresso or strong coffee into a large mug or glass. Slowly add the frothed pistachio milk over the coffee for a creamy base.
Prepare Cold Foam: In a small bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, milk, and powdered sugar or simple syrup. Using a handheld frother or whisk, whip the mixture until it thickens but remains pourable, approximately 30 to 45 seconds.
Assemble and Garnish: Gently spoon or pour the cold foam over the latte to create a fluffy cloud-like top. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee for best flavor.
Adjust pistachio syrup quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and plant-based milk, respectively.
Cold foam can be prepared ahead but is best served fresh.
If you don’t have a milk frother, a whisk or handheld mixer can achieve similar frothing results.
