About Orgeat
Orgeat is a sweet almond syrup made from almonds, sugar, and water, often flavored with orange blossom or rose water. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, it gained popularity in European cooking and later in cocktails, most famously in the Mai Tai. While traditionally crafted with almonds for their creamy texture and nutty flavor, some modern versions substitute with artificial flavors or other nuts. Despite being plant-based, orgeat is high in sugar, making it a less healthy choice for regular consumption. Almonds do contribute beneficial nutrients like vitamin E, healthy fats, and magnesium, but these advantages may be outweighed by the syrup's sugar content depending on portion size and preparation. Enjoyed occasionally in small amounts, orgeat can add a unique depth of flavor to drinks and desserts. Look for pure orgeat syrups with minimal additives for the best quality.
