Questions

Can I make Pistachio Latte dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Pistachio Latte 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.

Is Pistachio Latte vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1 1/2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup whipped cream. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan non-alcoholic drink collection.

Does Pistachio Latte contain tree nuts?

Yes: 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, 1/2 tsp almond extract and 2 tsp shelled pistachios (crushed, for topping), crushed. The full allergen list for this entry is dairy and tree nuts. Where the nuts are a garnish or a texture, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds stand in. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

Can I batch Pistachio Latte for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Halved, the pistachios drops from 1/4 cup to 2 tbsp; doubled, it is 1/2 cup. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
