First post in a looooong while... So, I usually make my own orgeat and I usually bake the almonds a bit before pulverizing them. This time I thought I'd toast them and the results quite unexpected. The orgeat is a dark brown color (thanks to the toasted almonds) and has a very distinct nutty flavor to it. Not bad at all, but made a Mai Tai take on a different characteristic.
