Almond Milk, For Curries, Blanc-Mange, Etc

Pound in a mortar half a pound of almonds, with a few spoonfuls of cold water, until the meats are reduced to a fine paste; dilute with a pint of milk, or water, and strain through a cheesecloth, pressing out all that will pass through.

Pounding Almonds

Mix the almonds with white of egg, or liquid, and pound in the mortar. Or mix with sugar and put through a meat-cutter three or four times. After forcing the nuts through the chopper the first time, adjust the machine to cut, or crush, as fine as possible.
