Almond Tea
This unusual beverage isn't tea in the traditional sense because it isn't made from leaves or herbs that have been steeped in hot water. However, if you like almonds, give it a try.
2/3 cup cooked rice, short-grain if possible
2 tablespoons almond paste
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Light-brown sugar
Water
Blend rice, almond paste, and 1/2 cup water in a blender at low speed five minutes. While still blending, add another 1/2 cup of water, a small amount at a time, until mixture forms a smooth, thin paste. Pour into a large saucepan.
Use three cups of water, one at a time, to rinse the blender and put water in the saucepan. Beat well with a rotary beater or force through a sieve. Bring to aboil, stirring. Add almond extract and granulated sugar. Serve hot in cups or small bowls with a sprinkling of brown sugar. Makes 4-6 servings.
