1 cup water
2 cups ice cubes

Almond Milk (Petit Appetit)
1 cup raw slivered almonds
3 cups warm water
Place almonds in a pitcher or large bowl and add water. Allow to soak for at least 4 hours. Transfer water and almonds to a blender and blend on medium until nuts are completely blended, 1-2 minutes. Strain the milk through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh colander 2 times to remove sediment and solids.
Makes 2 cups.
Rice Milk (Petit Appetit)
4 cups warm water
1 cup cooked rice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on medium until smooth, about 1 minute. Let the milk sit for about 30 minutes. You will see the liquid, or milk, is at the top and the rice solids are on the bottom. Pour the milk steadily into another container (a glass jar works well), leaving most of the sediment in the blender pitcher. Milk can be stored in the frig for up to 5 days.
