I've had good results by grinding the almonds, pouring 3 or 4 cups
boiling water over each cup of ground almonds, letting them steep for 5
or 10 minutes, blending everything as smooth as possible in a blender,
then straining through a fine strainer or cheesecloth. The blender helps
minimize almond waste, and also helps keep the almond oil from floating
on top.

BTW, you can usually get a second-rate almond milk (as with small beer)
from the strained, used almonds.
