Description
A dalgona pistachio latte is a modern hybrid coffee beverage built in two distinct, visually striking layers. The bottom layer consists of cold milk mixed with sweet pistachio syrup and a touch of pure vanilla extract. This layer rests over fresh ice cubes in a tall glass. The top layer features a thick, glossy foam. It is produced by vigorously whipping equal parts instant coffee granules, sugar, and hot water until it aerates into a soft-peak meringue texture.
Ingredients
For the Pistachio Latte:
- 1 cup cold milk of your choice
- 1–2 tbsp pistachio syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup ice
- 1 tbsp chopped pistachios, for garnish
For the Dalgona Coffee:
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp hot water
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Make the Dalgona coffee: Add instant coffee, sugar, and hot water to a bowl. Whisk vigorously for 3–5 minutes until thick, fluffy, and light in color.
- Prepare the latte: Add pistachio syrup and vanilla extract to a glass. Pour in the cold milk and stir well.
- Add ice: Fill the glass with ice.
- Top with coffee: Spoon the whipped Dalgona coffee over the milk.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped pistachios for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve: Stir gently before drinking to combine the creamy coffee with the pistachio milk.
Notes
For an extra-rich pistachio flavor, use pistachio milk instead of regular milk and add a small spoonful of pistachio cream to the glass.
