Here's the Menagier's version:
"Parboil and peel your almonds, then put them in cold water, then pound
them and moisten with water in which onions have been cooked and strain
through a strainer: then fry onions, and put in a little salt, and boil on the
fire, then put in the sops. And if you make almond milk for the sick, do not
put in onions, or instead of the water of onions to moisten as is said
above, put in and soak them with warm water and boil, and put in no salt, but a
great deal of sugar. And if you want to make some to drink, strain through
the strainer or two cloths, and a great deal of sugar to drink."

I don’t know how many recipes I have published in my blog that include
almond milk but if you search this I think you will find that all as of to date
include a meat broth. I am talking Sent Soví, Nola, Al-Andalus 13th
century and Fadalat as my subject is Spanish. By meat I mean fish, poultry and
four legged animals.
