Hmmmm.... I need to make "rice in almond milk" for 75 for a feast on
Saturday. I'm estimating a need for about 12 quarts of almond milk on the
basis of the recipe I have... looks like you're getting almost a gallon (16
cups) from half a pound of almonds? How do you make your almond milk? If you
can get that quantity, then it's certainly a LOT cheaper to make it
myself... I just hope the store will let me return what I bought....
