Let’s beat the summer heat!
Pistachios are one of the oldest nuts that are used most commonly around the world. The health benefits of pistachios include a healthy heart, weight management and improved digestion.
Sitting in the pale pages of an old cooking journal, I found this recipe today and sharing it gladly with you all.
A: You will love it! π
Pistachio Milk
Ingredients
- Milk – 3 cups
- Custard powder – 2 teaspoon
- Pistachio – 9 whole (crushed)
- Green cardamoms – 6 (deseeded and crushed to powder)
- Sugar to taste
- Food colours – Green and Yellow (optional)
Directions
- Dissolve custard powder in 1/2 cup of cold milk and keep aside.
- Boil rest of the milk with green cardamom powder for 2-3mins.
- Add few drops of yellow and green colour. (This step is optional and I use it only if we have some guests arriving at our place.)
- Slowly add custard powder-milk mixture and keep on stirring.
- Add sugar (used around 2 serving spoons) and bring to boil. Keep stirring.
- Add crushed pistachios
Tips:
- The milk can be served hot/cold.
Recommend keeping it in fridge for about 2hrs if want to serve cold. - To make a healthier version, you can use honey instead of sugar and also, can add a handful of chia seeds.
Enjoy!

omg, this sounds delicious! I’ll have to look for custard powder, I’m not sure I’ve seen it before. Would it work with just soaking chia seeds? Yum!

Oh wow that looks so good! Did you put the food colours just to make the pistachio drink more colorful? If you don’t put the colours, does it just look plain?

Yes! The green colour is due to the food colours only…taste remains the same π

I have never heard of pistachio milk before, but I guess it is made from nuts so that is common. I love cashew milk so I bet I’d love this!

Looks like a really interesting recipe to make with pistachios. I have never tried making nut milk at home, I usually just buy them at the store. However, I know homemade is the best so I will try making this.
