Pistachio Latte Cloud Drink

# What You Need:

→ Pistachio Latte

01 - 1 shot (1 fl oz) espresso or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee

02 - 1 cup (8 fl oz) pistachio milk (store-bought or homemade)

03 - 1 tablespoon pistachio syrup

04 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

→ Cold Foam

05 - 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) 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 Steps:

01 - Brew the espresso or strong coffee and set aside.

02 - Warm the pistachio milk in a small saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling. Stir in pistachio syrup and vanilla extract if using, then froth using a milk frother or whisk vigorously.

03 - Pour the espresso into a large mug or glass, then add the frothed pistachio milk over the coffee.

04 - In a separate bowl, combine cold heavy cream, milk, and powdered sugar. Whip with a handheld frother or whisk until thickened but still pourable, about 30 to 45 seconds.

05 - Gently spoon or pour the cold foam over the latte.

06 - Sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

That cold foam gives you a textural surprise with every sip, transforming a simple coffee into something café-worthy.
Pistachio adds a subtle, sophisticated nuttiness that doesn't overpower—it whispers instead of shouts.
It's fast enough for a weekday morning but feels indulgent enough for a weekend treat.

02 -

The cold foam works because of the temperature contrast—it needs to stay cold against the warm latte, so don't let it sit or it'll melt too quickly into the drink.
If your pistachio milk froths beautifully but your cold foam collapses, it's usually because you over-whipped it; stop when it looks thick but still slightly liquid.
