[Sca-cooks] Almond Milk?

[JAMES REVELLS]

Hej!

    I am back again after being off the list for about three years, have I ever 
missed you folks!  I have relocated to south west Georgia.  Yesterday I hosted 
the Shire of Flintmarsh Yule party at my home (a pot luck meal).  For the party 
I made Boiled Garlic & a dish of White Pork.  Both were recieved with 
expressions of enjoyment, but, because all my period cook books are still in 
storage, I have a question.  What is the best ratio of almonds to liquid to make 
almond milk?  I used 4 c ground almonds to 6 c water, brought to a boil, [then 
added 4 lbs of lean (80-20) ground pork to make the white pork] it seemed a 
little "thin".


     On a related note I am going to start having a cooks day at my house once a 
month to do period cooking with the Shire members.  We have a lot of good cooks, 
but most don't do period cooker, I hope to help change that.
