My morning coffee is a simple strongly-brewed cup with a splash of Heavy Cream, but mid-morning I like to change it up and go for more flavor. I love using syrups such as Vanilla Syrup or even Rosemary Syrup to bring a new taste to my coffee or lattes.

What I Love About This Syrup

• Natural Ingredients: Many store-bought pistachio syrups are made using additives but when you make your own at home you can avoid them. This ensures a fresh and smooth flavor.
• Unique Nutty Flavor: It offers a distinct and delightful nutty flavor that sets it apart from more common syrup varieties. When added to coffee or other beverages, pistachio syrup can elevate the taste, making every sip a gourmet experience.
• Versatile Usage: It can be used in a wide range of culinary creations, including coffee, cocktails, desserts, and even savory dishes, allowing for endless creativity in the kitchen. If you love the Starbucks Pistachio Latte then make this syrup so you can prepare one at home.

How to Make Pistachio Syrup

1. Chop the pistachios. Using a knife chop the pistachios into pieces. You can also pour them into a zip-top back and crush them with a meat tenderizer.
2. Heat the syrup. Add the water, sugar, and chopped pistachios to a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the almond extract.

3. Strain the mixture. Place a mesh sieve over a bowl and line it with a cheesecloth. Pour the syrup into the cheesecloth and let the syrup drain into the bowl. Discard the remaining sediment.
4. Store. Let the syrup cool before pouring it into an air-tight container or bottle for storing. Keep it stored in the fridge.
