BLENDED TOASTED ALMOND
I love the drink Toasted Almond, and this is an absolutely wonderful variation. Great as a dessert drink. You can also leave out the vodka if you prefer.

ROASTED ALMOND BUTTER
While many nut butters contain added sugar or hydrogenated oils, this homemade recipe contains just nuts, and maybe a little salt if you're so inclined. The secret to a deeply nutty flavor is twofold: Leaving the skins on and roasting the almonds before puréeing both add complexity. For a chocolate version, blend in some maple syrup and cacao nibs (start with about 2 tablespoons of each, then adjust to your liking). A few drops of pure almond extract would also add a nice flavor boost, reminiscent of marzipan.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and nicely toasted, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a rack and cool completely, 30 minutes.
- Place nuts in a food processor and purée until smooth, about 8 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed (mixture may clump up, but will eventually become creamy). Season to taste with salt, if desired. Almond butter will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.

TOASTED ALMOND
One of my favorites! Actually I think last night I may have had one too many. They taste so good, you forget what it is. And you get all the calcium you need for the day. What a drink! This is supposed to be made with half and half, but its too heavy for me, so I use low-fat milk. Ingredient amounts can be adjusted to personal preference.

Steps:
- Pour over ice, mix well,& enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose high-quality almonds: For the best flavor and texture, use whole, natural almonds that are free from blemishes and discoloration.
- Toast the almonds properly: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Use a high-powered blender: Blended toasted almonds require a high-powered blender or food processor to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the almonds in batches and/or for a longer period of time.
- Add a little sweetness: A touch of sweetness can help to balance the bitterness of the almonds. You can add sugar, honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener of your choice. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Flavor variations: You can flavor blended toasted almonds with a variety of ingredients, such as cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, or almond extract. Experiment with different flavors to create your own unique blend.
Conclusion:
Blended toasted almonds are a versatile and delicious snack, ingredient, or topping. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Use them in trail mixes, granola, yogurt parfaits, smoothies, or as a crunchy topping for salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats. Blended toasted almonds also make a great homemade gift for friends and family.
