ISO Orgeat Syrup in Pittsburgh Area

[wc4572]

Anyone know where I can get orgeat syrup in the Pittsburgh area? Everything else I read says the liquor store, which means most people are not talking PA. I didn't find it in my liquor store. Thanks

You should be able to find it at places where you buy other flavored syrups (Torani, Monin, etc.) Or you could try making your own- eGullet's own Katie Loeb has a recipe in her book (http://tinyurl.com/bqorybt) which I'm sure is better than anything you can buy.

One hint for making your own: get pre-skinned almonds. Skinning them yourself sucks and makes the process take twice as long.

Really? I've never found it that difficult to blanch almonds...

Well, getting to the state of the first pic in this post was a massive pain

Sorry I'm a little late. did you try Penn Mac on the strip? I can't imagine they don't have it.
