For a warm afternoon—or indeed any time a craving strikes—pistachio coffee is a good choice. This drink combines the sweet flavors of pistachio and strawberry with the intensity of espresso and a creamy touch of milk.
This iced coffee mix is smooth on the palate. The ice helps to give it a lighter body without losing the richness that the dairy provides. It is a very easy recipe to make at home.
