Orgeat

A Necessary Refreshment at all Parties.

Ingredients

• 2 quarts of milk
• 1 stick of cinnamon
• 4 ounces of the best sweet almonds
• rose-water

Instructions

Boil the milk with the cinnamon and let it stand to be quite cold, first taking out the cinnamon; blanch the almonds, pound them in a marble mortar with a little rose-water; mix them well with the milk, sweeten it to your taste, and let it boil a few minutes only, lest the almonds should be oily; strain it through a very fine sieve till quite smooth, and free from the almonds, serve it up either cold or lukewarm, in glasses with handles.
