Creamy Iced Pistachio Latte (Dairy-Free + Naturally Sweetened)
A creamy, nutty iced latte made with real pistachios and vanilla—no syrups needed. This dairy-free drink uses homemade pistachio milk (or a quick pistachio butter shortcut) for a naturally sweet, coffee-shop–worthy treat at home. Perfect topped with whipped cream and crushed pistachios.
Ingredients
Pistachio milk
- 1 cup raw pistachios, soaked overnight
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
For the latte
- 2 shots espresso
- 1 tsp vanila bean paste or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2-3/4 cup homemade pistachio milk (recipe above)
- optional sweetener of choice
- ice
- whipped cream or cold foam to top
Instructions
For pistachio milk
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until completely smooth. Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag into a large bowl, then pour into a glass bottle or jar. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Shortcut option: Blend 2 tablespoons pistachio butter with your favorite milk instead of making pistachio milk from scratch.
For the latte
- Brew your espresso.
- Stir in the vanilla while the espresso is still warm.
- Fill a glass with ice and pour the espresso over it.
- Add pistachio milk and stir until creamy and combined.
- Taste and add sweetener if desired (I personally don’t think it needs it).
- Top with whipped cream / cold foam and crushed pistachios for an extra special touch.
