This drink is delicious on fruits or ice cream. It can also be used to sweeten hot or cold drinks. Martha Stewart Living, May 1995. Makes 1 1/4 quarts. Ingredients: 2 cups whole almonds (10 1/2 ounces), 2 1/2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon almond extract. Directions: 1. Place almonds in a medium bowl and add 2 cups warm water. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Transfer soaked almonds and water to a food processor and process until finely ground, about 2 minutes. 2. Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a bowl and press hard to extract as much liquid as possible. Pour another 2 cups warm water over almonds and press again to extract more liquid. Discard solids. 3. Pour almond milk through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan, then add sugar and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until liquid reaches about 180 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 1 hour. Skim off any foam. 4. Pour syrup into a clean 1-quart bottle or jar, let cool, and cap. Syrup will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 months.
