3 ounces blanched almonds

2 ounces pumpkin seeds

½ teaspoon ground cardamom

3 cups water

2 cups milk

¼–½ cup sugar

• Process the almonds, pumpkin seeds, cardamom, and half of the water in a blender or food processor until the solids are finely ground.

• Strain the almond water through cheesecloth (or a clean Handi Wipe) into a container. Using the back of a spoon, press the solids to remove as much moisture as possible.

• Return the almond mixture to the blender and add the remaining water. Process until thoroughly combined.

• Strain this liquid into the container.

• Stir the milk into the almond water. Add sugar to taste.

• Serve over crushed ice.
