Prepare one fresh shot of espresso using an espresso machine.

If you don't own an espresso machine, a stovetop moka pot makes an excellent substitute and creates a rich, concentrated coffee that's perfect for lattes.

Pour the hot espresso into your favorite mug.

Add the pistachio syrup and browned butter, stirring until the butter melts completely and everything is well blended.

Heat the whole milk until hot, then froth it using a milk frother, steam wand, or handheld frother until light and creamy.

Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture, finishing with the foam on top.

Sprinkle the crushed shortbread cookies over the foam.

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!

Use freshly brewed espresso. Fresh espresso provides the richest flavor and the closest taste to the Starbucks original.

Don't skip the browned butter. It adds the signature rich, nutty flavor that makes this latte so unique.

Whole milk creates the creamiest foam, but oat milk or almond milk also froth well if you prefer a dairy-free version.

Warm your mug first by filling it with hot water for a minute before pouring in your latte. This helps keep your drink hotter longer.

Make It Iced

Allow the espresso to cool slightly before mixing with the pistachio syrup and browned butter.

Fill a glass with ice, pour in the espresso mixture, then top with cold milk.

Finish with crushed shortbread cookies.

Dairy-Free Version

Oat milk

Almond milk

Coconut milk

Use a dairy-free butter alternative if desired.

Add whipped cream and an additional drizzle of pistachio syrup for a coffeehouse-style treat.
