Orgeat | The Last Orgeat Recipe You'll Ever Need

[@user-xsn5ozskwg]

For how popular Mai Tais are orgeat is surprisingly hard to track down some places. This is definitely a solid recipe

Army & Navy is one of my all time fav cocktails but can be tricky to find orgeat, so pumped to try this out, thank you!

Oooo it’s been too long since I’ve had one. I know what I’m drinking come 5 o’clock! Cheers!

One technique I employ for Orgeat is making the base Barley water. Originally Orgeat was based on barley not almonds. You will find the barley water mouthfeel really adds to it

How is the barley water made?

[@johnolmos8670]

@@admiralstiffplank 1/4 cup of barley wash well to get dirt off then add a cup of water and boil until barley is soft. The water should be thick and glutamous changing the base mouthfeel of the orgeat and also sticking to original tradition

a year late, but if you make the syrup 2 parts sugar to 1 part liquid (in this case the almond milk) it is indefinitely shelf stable. Though I would recommend a scale as if you go under it molds and if you go over it recrystallizes and is a pain to clean the bottle after. Just make sure you sterilize (boil for 10 minutes) your storage vessel prior. More labor intensive but if you only use a couple of ounces of orgeat every now and then it is worth it IMO

Great video! I've made orgeat with and without the almond skins and I can say that it's definitely better if you remove the skins prior to toasting the almonds. The Educated Barfly has an incredible recipe as well.

[@VeryGoodDrinks]

Thanks! I personally really prefer mine with the skins. I think it adds nice tannin and depth that can balance sweetness and add complexity to cocktails. To each their own tho!

Too many jump cuts, all intentional. Bailed at 45 seconds. Next.
