Syrup of Orgeat with milk. — 
Sweet almonds, 750 grammes, 
Loaf sugar, 3000 
New milk carefully skimmed, 2000 
Cherry laurel water, 
Orange flower water, 125

ounces of sugar and as much milk, when a homogeneous paste has been 
made, two pounds twelve ounces of milk are to be added and the emul-

the aromatic waters. This second emulsion after being strained is to be 
united to the first, the sugar is then melted in it in a water bath, and the 
syrup thus formed strained through a coarse cloth and bottled when cold.

be intermitted for a few days.
