  • The night before or 4 hours before starting to prepare the milk, soak the skinless almonds in water, this will help to make it easier to liquefy them.
  • As time passed and your almonds are soaked, it's time to start. Pour the almonds in the blender without the water in which you soaked them.
  • Add 3 cups of water and blend for 2 or 3 minutes. If necessary, stir occasionally with a spoon. You will see how the consistency of puree is being formed.
  • After this time and with a puree consistency, add honey, vanilla, salt and a little cinnamon powder. Add the remaining water and liquefy for another 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Taste and rectify the flavor if necessary, with a little more honey, vanilla or cinnamon.
  • The only thing missing is to strain the milk. You will need cheesecloth or cheese cloth (it is known as cheesecloth or mesh cloth).
  • On a large bowl put a strainer, fold the fabric so that it is thicker and colócola on the strainer. Pour the almond paste on the cloth.
  • When you have finished serving all the pasta, take the cloth, and roll the almond paste to be able to squeeze as much as possible the liquid.
  • Take advantage of the almond paste: dry the pasta, dehydrating it in the oven at low temperature and create your own almond flour that you can use for baking.
