Crossposting again. Beware.

Someone visited the South and asked for a recipe for "a very
delicious milk drink that tasted... like it had rosewater in it".
That yielded the following interesting recipe (another reason to
get that rosewater that Wayne spoke of on rfc).

Richland County Orgeat (South Carolina)
Source: American Cookery, October 1934, p 180. They got it from
Sheila Hibben's National Cookbook, which seems to have come out in
1932.
Formatted etc. by Jean B.

1 stick cinnamon
1/4 lb blanched almonds
1 qt rich milk
1 Tbsp rosewater
sugar to taste

Crush cinnamon and almonds with a rolling pin and add to milk.
Add the rosewater and sweeten to taste with sugar. Bring slowly
to the boiling point, strain through a fine sieve and serve hot or
icy cold.
