ALMOND SYRUP FOR FLAVORED COFFEE
I came across another recipe for a drink that called for almond syrup, but I live in the Boonedocks, so getting stuff like that is like looking for sunshine in a coal mine. I was reading a magazine at the doctor's office and came across this reader tip. How ironic...it's for flavored syrup. The Lord smiles on us at the most unexpected times! This can also be bottled and given as a Christmas or hostess gift.
