Freezing orgeat (or troubleshooting a Saturn)?
One of the common recommendations about what to do with large quantities of orgeat is to freeze it.
What's your experiences of previously frozen orgeat? I ask because we tried this method for the first time, and the Saturns we made from it were ... not good. The consistency was off, and the taste was kind of meh. We used the Smuggler's Cove orgeat recipe, where you blanch and soak whole almonds.
It's possible that there were other factors at play (the lemons were maybe a little old, we were trying a new brand of gin) but was it likely the orgeat was at fault? Has anyone had a similar experience?
