ORZATA


A cooling glass of orzata for everyone at Raffaele the hairdresser's this morning. [Therefore you see the bottle on a salon counter, in front of some hair gel.] Orzata is a non-alcoholic, refreshing drink made from the extract of fresh, roasted almonds. It looks brown in the bottle but when it is poured into glasses it is almost white. And of course, it was the best orzata in all Sicily, for Raffaele's mamma had made it! He is going to ask her to make a half-litre for me.

A new one on me WCLC. It sounds a bit strange but if you say it's great I'm sure it is.

Nice of him. You pay, so you are always the desired customer.

You must come and try some, dear jmb. Well, he knows how to keep his customers, Steve [apart from closing for the whole of next week!]

That's looks interesting, Welsh...but I'll have a Frangelico on the rocks, thanks! ;)

Can't say it looks appealing, Welshcakes, but I'm willing to give anything a go and 9 times out of 10 the more unappealing something looks the nicer it is.

Looks like hair gel but I am sure it tastes wonderful.
Have a look at my blog. You have an award.

Hi, Lee. Cincin! Hi, Chris. Well, as I said when it's poured out it's a white colour and it is cooling. Hi, eurodog. Thank you so much for the award. I appreciate it.

I thought Raffaele was closing for August? Or was this his way of breaking your resistance (to the shutdown) down?

A nice gesture though.

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Liz, very possibly! He is closed now till the 21st - SCREAM!

We were talking about that wonderful substance this morning and found you in a google search! How did you have it though? I've only had it in steamed milk...

§Scottisadrummer, please excuse this very late reply. I had it just as it is!
