  • I do 1 part almond, 2 parts water, 2 parts white sugar.

    Toast the almonds, then grind them in a food processor (not too fine, since it needs to be filtered out afterwards). Boil the water and mix in the almonds, let soak for 1 hour. With a cheesecloth, filter out the almonds and squeeze as much liquid as possible. Then boil the liquid with the sugar until dissolved. Let cool, and add a little bit of orange flower water (just a tiny bit, otherwise it gets overpowering).

    It keeps in the fridge for at least a month. Some recipes add a bit of vodka, but I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes. I like the end result, but to be honest I haven’t tried commercial orgeat, so hard to compare!
