Directions
Soak ½ cup almonds for about 12 hours then rinse.
Immerse in boiling water for about 30 seconds then immerse in cold water.
Squeeze almonds out of their husk.
In a blender, purée almonds, ½ cup water and about 2 tbsp of sweetener (maple syrup, sucanat, etc.).
Add another 1½ cup of water and continue to blend.
Optionally, filter off gritty almond pulp, you can use it for a great facial scrub by adding it to a liquid soap.
Store in the fridge, it keeps for 3 to 5 days or more.
