This matcha cocktail is the goat...or should I say the cow? 🐮 @almondcow

Ingredients

• 1 cup Hazelnuts (raw, unsalted)
• 4 cups Filtered Water (cold)
• 1 pinch Sea Salt (to enhance nut milk flavor)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar (heaping spoonful)
• 2 tablespoons White Chocolate Chips (high‑quality, semi‑sweet)

1. Make Hazelnut Milk

   Add 1 cup raw hazelnuts and a pinch of sea salt to the Almond Cow, pour in 4 cups filtered water, secure the lid and press the top button once. Let the machine run through its three cycles until the light stays solid, then collect the milk in a cup and discard the nut solids.

2. Heat Hazelnut Milk

   Transfer the hazelnut milk to a medium saucepan and warm over medium heat until just steaming (about 80°C), but do not let it boil.

   Temperature: 80°C

3. Add Sweeteners

   Stir in a heaping tablespoon of powdered sugar and two tablespoons of white chocolate chips until fully dissolved.

4. Incorporate Matcha

   Sift 2 teaspoons of ceremonial grade matcha through a fine mesh sieve into the hot milk, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and a bright green‑gold hue appears.

   Time: PT2M

5. Prepare the Cocktail Base

   In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 oz vanilla vodka, 1 oz white chocolate liqueur, the hot white‑chocolate‑matcha hazelnut milk, and 1 cup ice cubes.

   Time: PT2M

6. Shake

   Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.

7. Double Strain into Glass

   Place a fine mesh strainer over a chilled martini glass, then pour the shaken cocktail through, followed by a second strainer to catch any remaining matcha particles.
