The Orgeat Syrup showdown + Hôtel Georgia cocktail

This is the Orgeat Syrup showdown! I'm making all the orgeat syrup recipes I can think of and I'm putting them to test in a delicious gin cocktail, the Hôtel Georgia.

1. Easy Orgeat syrup recipe
Equal part by weight of warm unsweetened roasted almond milk and sugar
For every 150 gr of milk, add 2 gr of orange blossom water
Blend until the sugar is dissolved and bottle up
Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks

2. Blanched almond milk Orgeat syrup
In a blender, add 50 gr of Blanched almonds and 200 ml of warm water
Blend at high speed for about one minute
Strain through a nutmilk bag and press well to extract all the milk (I like to use a potato ricer)
Weight the milk you extracted and add the same amount by weight of sugar
For every 150 gr of milk, add 2 gr of orange blossom water
Blend again until the sugar is dissolved and bottle up
Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks

3. Roasted blanched almond milk Orgeat syrup
Evenly place your almonds on a parchment paper in a baking sheet
Place in a pre-heated oven at 325 Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes
Keep an eye on the almonds to make sure not to over roast them.
Once you have you roasted almonds, repeat the process of recipe No 2

4. Unblanched almond milk Orgeat syrup
Soak your unblanched almonds in water with a pinch of salt for 2 hours
Strain the almonds and repeat the process of recipe No 2
