Ahu orgeat #1

2 cups of the organic sugar
2 cups of the almond milk
1 cup plain water
4 teaspoons organic almond extract
1 tbsp rose flower water
1/2 cup Cruzan light rum

Combined everything save the rose water and set to boil it in a pot. Once boiling I reduced the heat and simmered it on low (bubbling a good bit) for 25 minutes, whisking occasionally.

Had reason to make a batch of this over the weekend. I will sum it up in one word: "HotDam! This is good"

We cheated and used both Rose water and Orange Blossom water. We couldn't wait to try some so hot from the pot it was actually pretty nasty. Then, as it cooled down and the flavors came together properly it just kept getting better and better.

Not sure what the shelf life of this stuff will be because i don't think it will last long enough to find out.

Here a shot of everything we made. The Orgeat is in the left most set of green bottles. Going from left to right - Passion Syrup, Blackberry Shrub, Orgeat (Green bottles with light color), More Passion Syrup (Green bottles with dark color), Pimento Dram, Fallernum (last lightest bottle)
