(Iran - Sharbat bil Loz)

IngredientsEdit

• 4 cups blanched almonds
• 4 cups water
• 3 cups sugar- optional, it is healthier without sugar
• 1/4 cup orange blossom water (or rosewater)

ProcedureEdit

1. Grind the almonds finely in blender.
2. Add the water and continue to grind.
3. Strain the liquid through a sieve lined with cheesecloth.
4. When drained, squeeze the remaining pulp to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
5. Pour into a heavy saucepan, then stir in the sugar (optional).
6. Boil, stirring constantly, then lower the heat and simmer very gently for 5-10 minutes.
7. Turn off the heat, add the orange flower water, and let the syrup cool.

To serve, pour 1/4 cup of syrup into a glass, add ice water and stir well.

NotesEdit

Instead of throwing away the almond pulp, you can mix it into almond agar jelly.
