Sounds like a good start! It may seem like a lot of work to milk all those little almonds, but the end result is well worth the effort. And with a bit if planning you can make a party of it and have a few friends over and double (or triple) up the recipe and everyone takes some home. For the Flower waters... Try your local Indian, Middle Eastern, Turkish, or Greek markets. My little shop down the street has Rose Water, Orange Blossom, Grape Flower, Anise, and Elder Flower. I have to go by the pictures on the bottles since the writing is in Arabic. The owner of the shop sort of understood what I was after and pointed me to the correct bottles.
