Monin Almond Orgeat Syrup: clear, sweet almond syrup for lattes, fruit sodas and almond desserts. Single 700 ml bottle from France.
Orgeat is a traditional French almond syrup, and Monin's is clear with what the brand describes as a pure, distinct almond scent and a sweet, satisfying taste. Its marzipan-like flavour is lovely in coffee: an almond latte, an iced almond cappuccino, or a mocha with a nutty finish. It also mixes well with fruit, especially cherry, apricot and orange, for sodas and iced teas. In desserts, use it to soak a sponge, sweeten whipped cream, or flavour a frangipane-style tart. It arrives as one French-made 700 ml bottle of almond orgeat syrup. Because it is clear, it adds almond flavour without changing a drink's colour, which is handy in layered drinks. Almond also pairs nicely with chai, adding a gentle nutty sweetness to the spice blend.
