The Starbucks pistachio latte is a creamy, nutty delight with a delicious browned butter twist. You can make an impressive version at home with pistachio simple syrup and a brown sugar butter mixture. Delicious and oh-so-satisfying!
Combine water, sugar, and chopped pistachios in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Boil for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the texture becomes thick and syrupy.
Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool. Then pour it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the pistachio pieces.
Store your syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Make the pistachio latte.
Pull two shots of espresso.
In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter is lightly browned. Then remove it from the heat and stir in the brown sugar.
Steam your milk. If you don’t have a milk steamer, you can heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop and then whisk it.
Pour the milk into your mug and add the browned butter mixture on top. Then add the espresso and 1 tablespoon of your pistachio syrup. Stir your drink and enjoy!
