    Okay, this might be a dumb question – but while soaking the almonds – do you originally place them in hot water and then let it cool as they soak or does it need to be consistantly hot?

    Just use hot water originally and let it cool as they soak – no need to constantly change the water. :) Happy blending!

    Okay, thank you!

    Do the almonds need to be roasted? Blanched? Whole? Slivers? Or does it matter what kind of almonds you use.
