Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso 60 ml total
  • 1 tbsp smooth unsweetened pistachio butter 15 g; 100% pistachios, not sweetened cream or syrup
  • 0.5 tbsp maple syrup 10 g
  • 0.75 cup cold 2% milk 180 ml
  • 1 cup ice cubes approximately

Method
 

  1. Brew 2 espresso shots (60 ml) into a heatproof jug. Add 1 tablespoon (15 g) smooth 100% unsweetened pistachio butter and ½ tablespoon (10 g) maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until evenly dispersed. Fine nut particles are normal; nut butter does not dissolve like a sugar syrup.

  2. Add approximately 1 cup ice cubes to a 16 oz (475 ml) serving glass. Pour in ¾ cup (180 ml) cold 2% milk, leaving space for the coffee.

Notes

Estimated for one full drink using 15 g pure pistachio butter, 10 g maple syrup and 180 ml 2% milk; product labels vary. Contains pistachio (tree nut) and milk. Sweetened pistachio cream, syrup and pure nut butter are not nutritionally or texturally interchangeable. Fine nut particles can settle; stir again. Use smooth butter and blend any separated oil back into its jar before measuring. Keep milk refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below. Assemble at serving; refrigerate promptly if not consumed. Do not leave the dairy drink out more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Extra toppings and sweetener are excluded from nutrition.
