Recipe Variations

• Iced Pistachio Latte: Prepare as above, but use cold milk and pour over ice instead of steaming the milk.
• Vegan Pistachio Latte: Use oat, almond, or soy milk and ensure your pistachio syrup is dairy-free.
• Extra Nutty: Add a dash of almond extract or top with a drizzle of pistachio cream.

Serving Suggestions

• Iced Pistachio Latte: Serve in a tall glass over ice, with a straw and a sprinkle of pistachio on top.
• Pistachio Mocha: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup for a chocolatey twist.
