The Monin Almond syrup doesn't seem to be true orgeat. Sonoma Syrup has a Vanilla Almond made with flower water but I heard it has a very strong vanilla flavor. I have been looking for commercially available version rather than making my own because between the blanching of the almonds and inclusion or rose and/or orange flower water- its seems as those the taste can get royally messed up. Also, btw, have you used the gum arabic and/or orange peel from Tenzing Momo, and, if so, any comments? Thanks for your contributions that you make through your blog. If I am ever in Portland, your place will definitely be the top of my list. What kind of Orgeat do you use? The Monin Almond syrup doesn’t seem to be true orgeat.
