Down the rabbit hole of Pecan Orgeat as I look for ways to intensify the pecan flavor of orgeat with 4 different methods.
1. The traditional method of making a pecan milk, filtering, and adding sugar. This method produced a 2:1 syrup
2. Making a homemade pecan nut butter and using it to make a pecan milk. This is similar to the 60-Second Orgeat Recipe: • How to Make Orgeat in ... . This version was unfiltered and was a 1:1 syrup
3. This version was the same as #2 but the pecan milk was filtered resulting in a creamier and silkier texture
4. The last method I soaked the pecans in boiling water for 2 hours. Then made a nut milk using the pecans and the soaking liquid. Enough sugar was added to make this a 1:1 syrup. This produced the strongest pecan flavor of the 4 methods
The main takeaway for me was that I prefer filtered orgeats. If you want to intensify the pecan or not flavor it's not always about using more nuts, but reducing the sugar and using more of your pecan and or almond milk.
