I’m going to keep this short, because we are preparing for a busy weekend full of birthday festivities. Zane turns two tomorrow and we’re throwing a toddler party that I’m both excited for and exhausted just thinking about. I’ll be back next week with a full report.

In the meantime, here’s another hot matcha beverage to warm you up! This one is inspired by Autumn’s homemade pistachio milk, which I used as the base for a green tea latte that’s rich, grassy, and slightly sweet. Oh, and dairy-free if that’s your thing.

Matcha Pistachio Latte

1/2 c raw unsalted pistachios
1 1/2 c water, plus more for soaking
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp matcha green tea powder

1. Cover the pistachios by a couple inches with water, cover, and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.

2. Drain and rinse the pistachios then add them, along with 1 1/2 c water, to a blender. Blend on high until smooth.

3. Pour into a small pot, stir in the honey, and cook over medium heat until hot.

4. Pour back into the blender, add the green tea powder, and blend on high until the matcha is fully incorporated and the drink is frothy.
