Instructions

  • Okay, so youโ€™re going to need 3 ounces of brewed Thai iced tea. Check out my recipe for details on making that. But for this recipe, you only need the brewed tea so donโ€™t add in the other stuff. Brew a lot and make these delicious Thai tea popsicles too.

  • You may want to let the tea cool before making the martini. If you are in a hurry to get your drank on, then just add more ice to the mixing glass.
  • Fill a martini glass with ice and set it aside. This is to chill the glass only.
  • Now, fill a mixing glass 1/3-full with crushed ice. Add in the 2 ounces crรฉme De Cocoa, 2 ounces vanilla vodka, 1 ounce white chocolate liqueur, a splash of vanilla extract and simple syrup. Here is a recipe for simple syrup, just leave out the lavender. Add in 1/2 teaspoon of sweetened condensed milk and then 3 ounces of brewed Thai iced tea. FACT: Yes, white chocolate is really chocolate. That is, it contains cocoa. Sure, not all the stuff you find in dark chocolate, but it is a derivative. Itโ€™s like saying 2% milk isnโ€™t milk. And if you arenโ€™t a white chocolate fan, well, why the hell are you even reading this recipe. Ha! You can read up on white chocolate here.

  • Cover and shake the mixture for about 10 seconds. Remove the mixing glass from the shaker and place a hawthorne strainer in the metal shaker.
  • Now dump out the ice that was in the martini glass. If you are making more than one martini, I just dump it into the mixing glass to reuse it.
  • Strain the cocktail into the martini glass. How great is that color? Now, while Thai tea is typically an orange-yellow color, it is rarely natural. The original tea has these hues but most modern Thai tea is dyed for this effect.
