Ingredients:

1/2 kilo (1 pound) Almonds
1/2 kilo (1 pound) Sugar
1 Lemon
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 Pinch of Salt
2.5 liters Water (warm)

* The first step is to remove the skins from the almonds. The best way to do this is to simply buy them already skinless. If none are available, you will have to boil the skins off. Put the almonds in a pot of boiling water and let sit until the skins become very soft. With time, the skins will dissolve or slide off easily when stirred. Boiling the almonds is a pain. It is much easier to just buy them without skins.
* Crush or otherwise pulverise the almonds into a coarse powder. If you boiled your almonds to get the skins off, then smash them (or put them in a strong blender while adding some water) into a mush.
* In a large bowl/container add the 2.5 liters of water with a pinch of salt. Slice and add the lemon.
* Now mix in the almond powder (or mush). Cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
* When the two hours are up, add the sugar and cinnamon stick. Stir until sugar is completely dissovled.
* Strain the liquid with a fine cloth. This removes all of the larger particles of almond. Strain until texture is smooth (twice should do it).

I think it's great the way you post some of your recipes in metric and others in American.
Wouldn't want anyone to feel left out.

I see you got out of the NFL betting and steroid business, too. Just as well ;^)

This individual was banned again.

Came back with a slightly modified version of his name, so he's gonzo again.

And he didn't even put the recipes in their proper categories, so yet again, he broke some of the rules.

I've just had to move all of his recipes to where they belong. Plus the fact that he won't stop putting spamming links at the bottom of his posts.
