Gnomon - I got around to making your emergency orgeat last weekend and I must say, nice job! Very tasty stuff. My only reservation is the viscosity. It's very thin. I guess I'm used to the thick Trader Vic's stuff. But other than that, this has the artificial orgeats beat, hands down. I'll have to make KuKu's too and compare. I saw his recipe a year or so ago. Time to get down to it.

That's why it's just Emergency Orgeat. It's thin. It has preservatives. It is not great, just head and shoulders over most store-bought orgeats in flavor. It's thinness doesn't matter much once it's mixed into drinks. It's basically 10-minute orgeat you can whip up when you don't have any good stuff around.

But right now, I have the problem of the change in the product's formula. Can't get rid of the microparticles without going through the same trouble you have to go through in making almond milk from scratch. That defeats the purpose. Gotta find another brand that is sedimenary like the old Pacific.

f$(*# spelling and grammar! English is just my first language.
