Garnishes

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew two shots of espresso and set aside.

Honey Lavender Syrup Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine honey, dried lavender buds, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the honey has dissolved. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove lavender buds and let cool.

Pistachio Milk Preparation

  1. 3

    Soak the Pistachios

    Soak the pistachios in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  2. 4

    Blend the Milk

    Drain and rinse the soaked pistachios. In a blender, combine the soaked pistachios, 4 cups of fresh water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Strain through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer to extract the milk.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large glass, pour the brewed espresso, followed by 2 tablespoons of honey lavender syrup (adjust to taste). Slowly add the pistachio milk, stirring gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Sprinkle a teaspoon of bee pollen and a pinch of pink salt on top for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
