Heres my attempt:

Take blanched almonds and grind them small in a mortar, and mix them with 
luke warm water. And Draw the almond milk as thick as (?] and put it in an 
earthen pot.  Put a little vinegar in it. Cover it with a lid.  When the 
vinegar and almond milk have been mixed,(Fermented?) put a hole in the 
earthen pot and let the liquid all come out. Strain it till its clean.  It 
should be like buttered cream.

OK, let me know how I did
