Elevate your festive coffee break with this luxurious, café-style pistachio latte. Smooth espresso or dark brewed coffee is blended with a rich homemade pistachio paste, sweetened with a hint of condensed milk, and topped with steamy, frothed milk. Infused with a pinch of aromatic cardamom and garnished with crushed pistachios, it offers a soothing, nutty twist on classic coffee drinks.
2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed dark coffee  2 tablespoons raw pistachio paste or butter  1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk or maple syrup  1 cup whole milk or oat milk  1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom  1 tablespoon finely crushed pistachios for garnish
Whisk the pistachio paste, condensed milk, and ground cardamom together in a serving mug until smooth.
Pour the piping hot espresso over the pistachio mixture and stir thoroughly until fully incorporated.
Warm the milk and froth it using a hand frother until a dense, velvety micro-foam forms.
Pour the frothed milk gently into the mug, spoon the foam over the top, and sprinkle generously with crushed pistachios before serving.
