Italian Amaretto is a liqueur made of almonds, burnt sugar and the pure essence of 17 herbs and fruits. Amaretto has been prepared the same way since 1525. Legend has it that the drink was developed by the daughter of an innkeeper in Saronno, a small city near Milan.
It seems the young woman was posing for a local artist who had been commissioned to paint a fresco in a local Basilica, the Basilica di Santa Maria delle Grazie. The young woman was so smitten with the handsome painter that she concocted a love potion, Amaretto, to give to him in hopes of winning his heart. Amaretto was born. The painter fell in love. Now, roughly 500 years later it is easy to fall in love with this sweet beverage.
After tasting the drink many years ago, the unique mélange of almond and fruit was used to create Amaretto Blush. The cup tends a wonderful nutty astringency with hints of cherry and sweet sugar that really opens with a touch of milk. An excellent tea!
