I could say this is a trade secret, but on the contrary I would prefer that more people had a stash of Orgeat on hand. One can order Orgeat on the web of course (from Fee Brothers for example http://www.feebrothers.com), but that's no help if you want a Mai Tai today. One can also make it at home (http://fxcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=26), but ... no. Giant Eagle: nothing. Maybe Trader Joe's or Whole Foods carry French or Italian syrups, and surely somebody in the Strip District does, but all of those were a bit too far for me this time around. Fortunately for me, Cummings Candy and Coffee on Main Street in Butler has a whole shelf of Torani syrups, for use in lattes. So I stopped in and asked my dear friend Patty if I could have an ounce or two, and she kindly obliged with a quarter cup of the stuff. My little stash is now nearly gone, so I need to figure out a long term solution. Most likely I'll ask Cummings if I can order the occasional bottle through them. Peter: Excellent question.
