What is Orgeat Syrup?
“Orgeat” or Latin “Hordeata” syrup was originally created by a
delicious mixture of barley and almond juice. Both contain traces of fat but the taste of the drink leaves everyone
spell-bound.
Orgeat syrup or juice contains ingredients like water, artificial
flavours, citric acid, formulated coconut oil and sucrose obtained from a sugar- cane.
Preservatives are added to retain the aroma and taste of the drink
for a longer time. These preservatives are produced by a combination of Sodium Benzoate, Citric acid and Potassium
Sorbate.
Where can I purchase orgeat
syrup?
