<RecipeText>Directions:

1. Place almonds in a bowl and cover with 2 inches of water. Let soak overnight or for 24 hours.

2. Remove the skins. To do that, place soaked almonds and soaking water in a saucepan, and heat almonds for about 5 minutes. No boiling is necessary. The heat helps to remove the skin of the almonds. Drain almonds, and pop out of the skin (it should pop easily now that the almonds have been warmed).

3. Place in a blender and add 2-3 cups of fresh water. The less water, the creamier the milk. Blend on high for about a minute. Strain slowly through a cheesecloth lined strainer. Twist and press cheesecloth to extract all of the milk. The dry almond meal left over in the strainer can be thrown into cookies, cakes and breads.

4. Add remaining ingredients to milk, and serve chilled.
