Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought almond milk?+
For an authentic taste, fresh raw almonds are essential; store-bought milk lacks the richness and depth of this traditional preparation.
How long does it stay fresh?+
Keep it refrigerated in an airtight bottle for up to 3 days; shake well before serving as it may naturally separate.
Can I substitute honey?+
You can use sugar or agave, but honey provides a specific floral note that complements the almond and orange blossom beautifully.
Are the almonds raw or roasted?+
Use raw, unsalted almonds; roasted almonds will change the color and flavor profile to something more savory.
