Orgeat syrup

Orgeat syrup is almond syrup which is used in the making of many cocktails. Orgeat (pronounced “ or-zat”) is the French form of the word which originated from the Italian word orzata which means almond. This syrup is basically an oil water emulsion of the oils in the almond. This makes orgeat very similar to milk. Prior to using almonds, these emulsions were made with barley.
