ALMOND WINDMILL COOKIE - FLAVORED COFFEE

Notes from the curator

Although the almond tree originated from the Mediterranean region of the Middle East, the majority of the United States' supply of almonds are grown and cultivated in Southern California. We generally think of almonds as a nut, but it is a seed inside the fruit of the almond tree. Like a peach or a cherry, the almond tree bears fruit that has a pit in the middle. It is the seed of that fruit that we call the almond nut.
