Almond Shrub

Ingredients

• 1 qt Rum
• 1 glass Orange Juice
• 1 Lemon Zest
• 0.5 lb Granulated Sugar
• 1 glass Milk
• 8 drops Almond Extract

Instructions

1. In a gallon or half-gallon jar, combine the rum, lemon rind, orange juice, and sugar until well-mixed.
2. In a separate container, mix the bitter almond flavoring thoroughly with the milk.
3. Pour the milk mixture into the jar with the other ingredients.
4. Cover the jar and place it in a warm area with a temperature between 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Allow the mixture to sit until the milk curdles, which typically takes between one and three hours.
6. Once the milk has curdled, filter the mixture through filter paper to remove solids.
7. Transfer the filtered liquid into bottles and seal tightly.
8. Let the bottled drink rest for two weeks to develop its flavor before serving.
