salted pistachio matcha latte

I tried a salted pistachio matcha latte at a coffee shop in Nashville, Tennessee and I was obsessed. The combination of flavors was so delicious, so I knew I had to recreate it at home, but with better ingredients of course.

Instead of using a sugary pistachio syrup and a dairy free barista blend with questionable ingredients, I used homemade pistachio milk. This not only made the latte dairy-free, but it also refined sugar-free without any unnecessary additives,

The homemade pistachio milk gave the latte a super creamy texture, almost like pistachio ice cream in latte form. I can’t get enough of it. The salt perfectly balances out the richness of the pistachio milk, it’s the perfect blend of flavors.

Whether you're a fan of matcha, pistachios, or just love trying new drinks, this Salted Pistachio Matcha Latte is sure to become a new favorite.

Tips for Making the Best Salted Pistachio Matcha Latte:

• Matcha

  • It's best to use organic ceremonial grade matcha from Japan.

  • Some top-quality matcha brands to consider are Encha Matcha and Pique Matcha, both of which are known for their exceptional taste and quality.

• Sweetener

  • The recipe calls for 1 Tbsp of maple syrup, but you can adjust the sweetener to your personal preference.

  • You can also use other sweeteners like honey, stevia, coconut sugar, or monkfruit, but keep in mind that this might slightly change the overall flavor of your matcha latte.

• Salt

  • Be sure to use a high-quality salt, not regular table salt, for the best results.

• Temperature

  • This recipe is for an iced matcha latte, but you can also enjoy it warm. When making a warm latte, heat the pistachio milk separately and do not heat up the entire latte. This is important because matcha can become bitter if exposed to high temperatures.
