How To Make "soumatha" greek almond drink

• Step 1
  Remove the skins from the almonds by boiling them for a minute or two. The skins will slip off easily.
• Step 2
  Dissolve the sugar in half the water and boil until you have a syrup consistency. Set aside. Using a food processor or blender, grind the sweet and bitter almonds into a fine powder. Combine the ground almonds with the remaining water.
• Step 3
  Using a strainer lined with cheesecloth, strain the liquid from the ground almonds and reserve. Pass the ground almonds and water 2 or 3 times through the cheesecloth to extract the most flavor.
• Step 4
  Combine the strained almond liquid with the sugar syrup and heat on the stove, being careful not to allow the mixture to boil.
• Step 5
  To serve, add about an inch of the syrup to a tall glass with some ice & water. Cheers!!!
