Prepare the almonds

• Soak the almonds for a few hours or overnight in warm water.
• Pinch off the skin.
  
• Pat dry the almond before putting them in the blender.
• Using the plunger, push down the almonds until they form a paste. This will take a few minutes.
  
• Turn off the blender when the bowl is getting hot to cool the mixture and the motor.
• Start blending again at medium speed, continue to use the plunger and eventually, the paste will start to heat up and in the process turn into butter.
  
• Let the butter cool down before storing it. Taste. You can add a little sweetener or a pinch of salt if you want but it isn't necessary.
