Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has information on the history of orgeat: Is it specific to one region in France? Are there regional differences in recipes? Does anyone in France still make orgeat from scratch? Any information would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Yes, I'm familiar with fxcuisine, and also Darcy O'Neil's recipe from The Art of Drink. I also posted my recipe on the orgeat thread in the spirits & cocktail forum here on egullet. But I'm wondering what the cultural and historical precedents are for the syrup, and what regional variances there might be. Any ideas?
