Instructions

MAKE THE BROWN BUTTER TOPPING:

Add butter to a small skillet. Heat over medium-low to low until melted and the milk solids start to brown and become fragrant.
Remove off of the heat and add in dark brown sugar.
Stir to combine. Once cooled a bit, stir in a splash of vanilla extract and pinch (or two - to taste) of salt. Set off to the side. It will solidify more as it cools.

MAKE THE PISTACHIO LATTE:

In a 10 ounce mug, add pistachio butter and sweetened condensed milk. Brew or pour in a shot of hot espresso. Stir or blend until combined.
Keep in mind, because we are using a nut butter, there will be some settling. I didn’t find it to be bothersome or even noticeable.
Meanwhile, add oat milk (or other milk that steams and froths well) into a steamer/frother. My Keurig (linked in above) does both, heating and frothing. Alternatively you can use a frothing whisk to whip and froth warm milk until foamy.
Pour the warm steamed milk into your mug.
Spoon some of the salted brown butter sugar topping on top, along with chopped pistachios if desired.

Notes

What Is The Best Milks For Frothing?

The best milk for frothing is heavy cream, half & half, whole milk, oat milk (try barista blend!), almond milk, coconut milk and soy milk.
