Servings 1 person
Ingredients
- ½ cup pistachios peeled
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water filtered
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1 tbsp boiling water preferably from a tea kettle to make things easy
- ¾ cup milk of your choice
- ¼ cup milk for frothing
- 1 tsp chocolate syrup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the peeled pistachios, brown sugar, and filtered water. Bring it to a simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool off a bit.
- Now, you can simply drain the mixture and discard the pistachios and you’ll have a nice, traditional pistachio syrup. However, if you like a lot of pistachio flavor, you can make it into a thick butter by blending it in the blender. From there you can either remove the bumps by pushing it through a strainer or skip that step and just use the butter as it is.
- Next mix the matcha with boiling water and whisk it until it’s smooth.
- Fill a glass with ice, pour the matcha mixture over the ice.
- Add the pistachio paste or an equal amount of syrup depending on your preference.
- Add your milk of choice and give it a gentle stir.
- Froth together your milk of choice and 1 tsp of chocolate syrup. Add it to the top of the drink.
- Drizzle a bit of chocolate syrup on top for garnish if you wish.
