👨‍🍳 Method

    Soak the almonds overnight in cold water.
    ⚙ SoakingBowl
  2. 2
    Drain the almonds and rinse well.
    Colander
  3. 3
    Grind the almonds in a blender with the water for 2–3 minutes, until smooth.
    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorBlender
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  4. 4
    Strain through cheesecloth set over a bowl, and squeeze well.

    💡Squeeze the cloth well to get out as much liquid as possible; the milk separates as it stands, so shake it before using.
