Coconut Matcha Horchata: Matchata
If you ever need a relaxing exercise to calm the nerves (like, say, after you finally get the baby down for a nap after 1.5 hours of blood curdling can-you-see-my-tonsils-yet screams), I recommend making a batch of matcha horchata. Or really: blanching almonds and sitting over a bowl popping them out of their skins one-by-one. There’s something seriously satisfying about the pop of an almond leaping out of its skin into a bowl. pop. pop. POP. Once you’ve gone that far, though, you might as well finish the job and turn them into creamy horchata.
