      1. - Pulse honey roasted almonds in a food processor until small crumb forms. - Do not over pulse into almond butter. The smaller the pieces, the better extraction of flavor.

      2. - Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and remove from heat.

      3. - In a medium mixing bowl, combine crushed almonds and hot water. Steep for 3 hours stirring occasionally

      4. - At 3 hours, grab a second medium size mixing bowl and place a sieve or hand strainer over the bowl and line with two layers of cheesecloth.

      5. - In a medium saucepot, bring the almond "tea" to a boil and whisk in the sugar, smoky honey habanero, and orange flower water. Bring back to a boil, remove from heat.

      6. - Through the hand sieve and two fresh layers of cheesecloth, strain the hot orgeat into a medium mixing bowl and let cool. Once cooled, whisk in the cognac.

      7. - Pour into a clean mason jar and seal. Place in the fridge to cool completely and store until needed.
