Moroccan Almond Milk (Jus d'Amande)
If you were sitting in our family salon right now, I would serve you this. A popular, refreshing café beverage made by blending blanched almonds with milk, sugar, and a hint of orange blossom water. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
