Touch of Europe sells the Teisseire line of syrups as well as the line from Rieme. Rieme makes a French almond syrup that looks like orgeat but I haven't tried it. Order $50-worth of stuff from them to get free shipping.

I prefer to make my own. I used to buy Teisseire to keep on hand when my homemade would run out. Homemade is best, but it's a bit of a chore and takes 2 – 3 days or so making the almond milk and reducing the syrup without cooking it. To give you an idea, check this out. It's the easiest method I've found to make real almond milk.

But I came up with a recipe that I call Emergency Orgeat that takes 10 minutes to make. Even though it's not nearly as good as the 3-day real deal, my Emergency Orgeat still tastes better than Tesseire and, of course, works just as well in any drinks.
