Yes, we all know it's too hot in New York- Astoria to be precise.
But here is something to alleviate the swelter.
This summer, my new drink is French Almond Soda!
I discovered the most amazing almond syrup at Williams-Sonoma a few months ago, when seeking new ideas for Brian's famous dairy-free gelato. Of couse, the store no longer carries the syrup, but thankfully, I found it online at http://www.connoisseurshop.com/. My syrup shipped quickly and shipping was only $5.95 for six bottles.(I hear the peach is also a great flavor).
I attribute the almond syrup's excellence to its artisinal production and beet sugar- that must be it. Because this stuff is amazing!
How to make it:
French Almond Soda
Add Rieme almond syrup to a tall glass- approx 2 tsp.
Add a small amount of milk or soymilk(in my case)
Add seltzer- but not to the top. It will foam like an old-fashioned egg cream. (For those interested, read about Egg Cream Racketeering at http://www.gastronomica.org/pages/sample4.3.html)
Add two or three large icecubes.
So refreshing.
