Pistachio Latte Cloud Drink (Print Version)

A creamy pistachio milk latte topped with luscious cold foam and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pistachio Latte

01 - 1 shot espresso (1 fl oz) or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
02 - 1 cup pistachio milk (store-bought or homemade)
03 - 1 tablespoon pistachio syrup
04 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

→ Cold Foam

05 - 1/4 cup cold heavy cream
06 - 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
07 - 1 teaspoon powdered sugar or simple syrup

→ Garnish

08 - 1 teaspoon chopped pistachios (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Brew espresso or strong coffee and set aside.
02 - Warm pistachio milk until hot but not boiling; stir in pistachio syrup and optional vanilla extract. Froth using a milk frother or whisk vigorously.
03 - Pour espresso into a large mug or glass, then add frothed pistachio milk over the coffee.
04 - In a small bowl, combine cold heavy cream, milk, and powdered sugar. Whip until thickened but still pourable, about 30 to 45 seconds.
05 - Gently spoon or pour cold foam over the latte. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired and serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like a luxury café drink but takes barely ten minutes to pull together in your own kitchen.
  • The cold foam adds an unexpected textural magic that makes each sip feel like a small celebration.
  • Pistachio is naturally sophisticated without being fussy—it just works, every single time.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cold foam step—it sounds fussy but it's what transforms this from a nice coffee drink into something that feels like a treat.
  • If your pistachio milk is too sweet on its own, you can skip the syrup entirely or use just half a teaspoon; trust your own taste buds over the recipe.
03 -
  • The cold foam only stays perfect for a few minutes, so pour it last and drink soon after—there's no rush, but don't let it sit idle.
  • If you're making this for guests, prepare the pistachio milk and cold foam components ahead, then assemble just before serving for maximum impressiveness with minimal last-minute stress.
