Fog Pistachio: What Is It? (Easy Guide to This Unique Flavor)

Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “fog” drinks all over social media, and the “fog pistachio” one really caught my eye. It looked so dreamy and delicious, I just had to try making it myself. Here’s how it went down:

Gathering My Stuff

First, I grabbed all the ingredients. I already had most of it, thankfully:

• Pistachio nuts – Of course, the star of the show! I used the shelled, unsalted kind.
• Milk – I went with regular whole milk, figuring it would make it extra creamy.
• Sweetener – I had some honey on hand, so I used that.
• Something to make the “fog”, this one I decided going to use ice.
• Some strong Earl Grey tea – I’m a big tea person and use it to add more favor.

Making the Pistachio Paste

This was the part I was most nervous about, I needed to blend pistachios. I tossed a good handful of pistachios into my blender. Then I added alittle of water. I started the blender, and to my surprise, I blended for a bit longer, and it slowly started to turn into this smooth, pale green paste.

Brewing and Steeping

Then I put some water to boil and added the tea leaves I had, and let it steep for a good five minutes.

The “Fog” Magic

Okay, this is where the “fog” part comes in. I filled a glass with ice, like, really packed it in.

Putting It All Together

Now for the fun part! I poured a layer of the tea at the bottom of the glass. Then, I carefully spooned in a generous amount of the pistachio paste. After, I slowly added more milk into it and watched it mixing the pistachio layer. And I added a little honey.

Then I slowly poured the milk into the glass, watching it cascade down and create that cloudy “fog” effect. Seriously, it looked so cool!

The Taste Test

I took a sip, and…wow! It was creamy, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet. The tea gave it a nice, subtle flavor, and the coldness from the ice was perfect. Honestly, it tasted even better than it looked. It’s super refreshing.

So, yeah, that’s my fog pistachio adventure. It was surprisingly easy to make, and it turned out amazing. Definitely making this again!
