## Quick answer

Pistachio paste can be dense or separated in the jar. Stir it before measuring, then warm it with **the oat** milk and sugar. Blend until no paste streaks remain, using a vessel suited to warm liquids. This step helps the nut paste combine before it meets **the espresso**.

## Key takeaways

- Pistachio paste can be dense or separated in the jar.

- Unsweetened pistachio paste varies in flavor and may contain salt.

- Pour the pistachio-oat mixture over espresso and stir gently.

Milk from a metal pitcher being poured into a cup of coffee.

## Ingredients

 

- 60 ml espresso
 
- 180 ml barista **oat** milk
 
- 15 g smooth unsweetened **pistachio** paste
 
- 2 tsp sugar.

 

## Method

- Warm **oat** milk with pistachio paste and **sugar**.

- Blend until smooth, then pour over **espresso**.

 

### Check sweetness and salt

 

Unsweetened **pistachio** paste varies in flavor and may contain salt. Taste the warm mixture before adding it to the coffee; **the recipe**’s sugar balances the paste, but different products can taste less or more intense. Do not add extra sweetener until the assembled drink is tasted.

 

## Serve while smooth

 

Pour the pistachio-oat mixture over espresso and **stir** gently. The paste can settle as the drink stands, so serve it soon and stir again if needed. Pistachio is a tree nut; check **labels** and tell guests before **serving**.

 

For a simpler nut-and-coffee pairing, try the [**maple** cashew **latte**](https://www.coffeejay.com/en/learn/recipes/plant-based-coffee-recipes/maple-cashew-latte/).

## Keep pistachio paste from settling

 

Stir the paste in its container before measuring if oil has separated. Blend it into **the warm oat** milk until smooth, then add the espresso. If the paste collects on the bottom of the cup, stir again before drinking; this is **a texture** issue, not a reason to add more paste.

 

### Use unsweetened paste as written

 

**The recipe** calls for smooth, unsweetened pistachio paste and separately lists sugar. Sweetened pistachio spread is not the same product and will change the result. Check **the label**, especially for nut allergens, before using it.

 

Serve while warm so **the oat** milk and pistachio remain easy to combine.

## Serving and allergen notes

 

Pistachio paste may contain added oils or salt, so its **label** can affect **the latte**’s flavor. Use a smooth paste as listed and stir the drink before sipping if it begins to settle. Pistachio is a tree nut; check packaging and make that ingredient clear to anyone you serve.

 

The drink is best warm, while **the oat** milk and paste still blend easily. Avoid leaving it on a warming plate, which can change the milk **texture**.
