Notes

Once the almonds have been soaked overnight, the almonds can be kept submerged in water in the fridge for up to 7 days. You will need to change water daily, as it will turn murky due to the almond skins, this will help keep them fresh.
If you forget to change the water one day, simple drain water, rinse almonds and top up with new water.
The skins are edible too.
