Almond Milk I

1. Soak the almonds in the water overnight. They should swell and become supple.

2. Grind the soaked almonds and water in a blender. Blend in a pinch of salt and a few dates if desired.

3. Strain the almond mixture through a fine filter to remove the almond solids. Folded cheesecloth or a nut milk bag work well.

4. Use the almond milk immediately or chill.
