Oscar Diggs ('James Franco'), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking.
Use a container at least twice the size of the amount of almonds youâre using. They swell to about twice the size and will soak up much of the water. Cover the nuts with warm water and let sit in a warm place for about 12 hours or overnight. After about 12 hours, or in the morning, drain the water, add one teaspoon of salt per quart of almonds (presoaked quantity), and fill again with warm water to let soak for another 8-12 hours. After the final salt water soak, drain the almonds and dehydrate until crisp.
The longer the almonds soak, the creamier the almond milk. Drain and rinse the almonds. Drain the almonds from their soaking water and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water. At this point, the almonds should feel a little squishy if you pinch them. Strain the almonds. 2  Line the strainer with either the opened nut bag or cheese cloth, and place over a measuring cup. 3  Pour the almond mixture into the strainer. 4  Press all the almond milk from the almond meal. 5  Gather the nut bag or cheese cloth around the almond meal and twist close.
