I have not tested these directions, but the "Libro Del Arte de 
Cozina" (1599) has some recipes with specific quantities.  The 
directions for almond milk differ according to the thickness desired 
for each dish, but the yield in the recipes I looked at is 3-4 pounds 
of milk from 1 pound of peeled almonds.
