Frequently Asked Questions

What is Moroccan Almond Juice?

Moroccan Almond Juice is a non-alcoholic beverage originating from Morocco, prepared by blending almonds with water, honey, and orange blossom water. It is typically served chilled as a refreshing drink during festive occasions or gatherings.

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.
