Have you tried the pistachio latte at Starbucks? This is the homemade version. If you like pistachios – I encourage you to mix up your coffee routine with this Starbucks café-inspired pistachio latte.
You can make a simple version by just making pistachio milk in the NutraMilk in minutes and proceed to making a regular latte with your choice of sweetener or check out the recipe below to make a pistachio syrup. Enjoy!
