I ordered this latte at Starbucks and loved it so much that I had to make my own copycat Starbucks pistachio latte recipe.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons pistachio flavoring syrup
3 ounces brewed espresso

Directions

Place butter in a small heavy saucepan. Melt over medium heat, swirling occasionally until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and salt until combined; set aside.
Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisking occasionally. Once warmed and slightly bubbly, add pistachio syrup. (Optional: use a frother to foam milk.) Pour espresso into a mug. Add butter mixture and top with flavored milk.
