2 cups of DRINKmaple maple water
1/2 cup raw cashews or almonds
1-2 scoops matcha powder (such as PANATEA matcha)
optional: maple syrup or honey to taste

Milk & Cookie Shots
INGREDIENTS
DRINKmaple Nut Milk
2 cups DRINKmaple Organic Maple Water
½ cup raw almonds or cashews
Cookie shots
3 cups almond flour
½ cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup maple syrup or honey
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups chocolate chips, semi-sweet
6 ounces dark chocolate
Tip: for a quicker version of this recipe, use refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (we like Cappello’s, gluten-free, grain-free)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 12 silicone or metal baking cups with nonstick spray.
To create nut milk:
Blend DRINKmaple maple water and almonds until smooth. Set aside.
To create cookie shots:
Combine dry ingredients and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, syrup or honey, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer or wire whisk. Pour wet ingredients slowly into dry ingredients and beat with mixer or fork until combined. Add the melted coconut oil and continue to blend until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Divide cookie dough to create 10-12 individual “shot glasses” by pressing batter into bottom and sides of prepared baking cups to form. Bake for 30 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool in molds.
Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove cookie shots from molds or tray and pour a tablespoon or so of melted chocolate into well of each shot. Rotate shot so chocolate evenly coats inside and lip, then pour the excess chocolate back into bowl.
Chill cookies until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes. Fill shots with homemade nut milk to serve.

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
dash of ground black pepper (works synergistically to increase turmeric absorption by 2000%)
Optional: sweetener to taste (such as dash of maple syrup or honey)

Maple Water Egg Nog
INGREDIENTS
4 cups DRINKmaple maple water

6 egg yolks
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp grated nutmeg
1 Whole Cinnamon Stick
Optional: sweetener to taste (such as dash of maple syrup or honey)

(makes 4 servings)
DIRECTIONS
Blend the maple water and raw almonds to create nut mylk.
Whisk egg yolks using a stand mixer or hand mixer on high speed until they lighten in color. Add the nut mylk, vanilla extract, and grated nutmeg and mix well. Add mixture to a medium saucepan and heat on medium low. Add cinnamon stick to mixture and allow to steep. This will enhance the egg nog slightly with some cinnamon flavor.
Stir mixture frequently and allow to thicken. You don’t want to rush this process or you’ll end up with scrambled egg nog. Cooking is finished when egg nog coats the back of the spoon.
