I still buy Trader Vic's orgeat, but the next time I am out I am going to make my own based on simple syrup, almond extract, and lemon extract. The TV syrup just does not have enough taste vs. sweetness for me. Some coffee places have Monin Orgeat that is supposed to be good. And for passionfruit, I raid the local asian market for REAL passionfruit concentrate. Ingredients = Passionfruit, water. And it is thick! Good stuff with a taste that blows away TV's passionfruit make-believe stuff...in my opinion at least. BTW, Welcome to TikiCentral!
