Ingredients

4 oz Almonds (about 1 cup ground)
1 tsp Salt
2 Tbl Sugar
1 Tbl Rosewater

Steps

  • Make almond milk, by putting almonds in 2 cup measuring cup and adding cold water to fill. Strain & repeat. Pour almond milk into a medium saucepan, along with salt, sugar & rosewater. Let cook over high heat until it boils. Like cow’s milk, almond milk can boil up and over if not watched.
  • When boiling, turn down the heat and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until the milk thickens. Pour into a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl. Gather the cheesecloth over the solids and hang to drain. This recipe makes a small amount, so suspending it from a chopstick on the rim of a drinking glass is about right.
  • When no more liquid drips out, put in a bowl, mix slightly until butter is smooth and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve it forth.

Notes

It’s good on biscuit bread.
