Ingredients

2 tablespoons Pistachio cream
8 oz 2% milk
2 shots Espresso coffee
¼ cup Whipped cream optional
1 teaspoon crushed pistachios optional

Instructions

First you'll need to make 2 ounces or shots of espresso coffee.
Then, you'll need to heat and froth milk of choice.
In your 12oz mug of choice, you'll add your pistachio cream.
Pour your espresso coffee into the mug.
Using a handheld milk frother, mix the pistachio sauce and espresso shots until combined.
Slowly pour in your frothed milk into the espresso.
Lastly, top your latte with whipped cream and sprinkle on the crushed pistachios.

Notes

Careful when adding your whipped cream, too much will make your latte overflow!
Be sure to use espresso that has been brewed within 5 minutes of making the latte. Otherwise, the espresso may develop a bitter flavor.
