Method
- Add the roasted salted pistachios and milk to a high-speed blender and blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture turns pale green and completely smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl, pressing gently with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid and remove any solids.
- Stir the honey or agave syrup and vanilla extract into the strained pistachio milk until fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to the pistachio milk, stir thoroughly, and taste, adding another tiny pinch if the flavor feels muted.
- Place the pistachio milk in the freezer for 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring it is very cold but not frozen before frothing.
- Pour the cold brew coffee or iced espresso into serving cups, filling each about three-quarters full and leaving room for foam.
- Use an electric milk frother (or electric whisk) to froth the chilled pistachio milk for about 1 minute, holding the frother just below the surface until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes airy.
- Hold back the foam while pouring any remaining liquid into the coffee, then spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of pistachio foam on top of each cup.
Notes
Make the pistachio milk base the night before and store it in the refrigerator; froth fresh before serving for best texture and flavor.
