4 cups blanched almonds

4 cups water

3 cups sugar

1/4 cup orange blossom water (-OR- rose water)

 

 

1. Grind the almonds finely in blender.

 

2. Add the water and continue to grind.

 

3. Strain the liquid through a sieve lined with cheesecloth.

 

4. When drained, squeeze the remaining pulp to extract as much

liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.

 

5. Pour into a heavy saucepan, then stir in the sugar.

 

6. Boil, stirring constantly, then lower the heat and simmer very

gently for 5-10 minutes.

 

7. Turn off the heat, add the orange flower water, and let the syrup

cool.

 

8. To serve, pour 1/4 cup of syrup into a glass, add ice water and

stir well.

 

 

Notes :

 

Instead of throwing away the almond pulp, you can mix it into almond

agar jelly.
