Questions

Can I make Pistachio Latte dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup whipped cream. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I halve or double Pistachio Latte?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
