INSTRUCTIONS
ALMOND PASTE
Soak rice in enough water to cover for at least 2 hours or overnight;
drain. In a food processor of blender, whirl rice, almonds, and 1 1/2 cups
water into a smooth paste. Transfer paste to a large pot.
Add 6 cups water and sugar to almond paste. Bring to a boil, stirring
constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered,
for 10 minutes. Set a fine strainer lined with a double layer of damp
cheesecloth over a deep bowl. Pour soup
through strainer into bowl, then gather cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to
extract all remaining liquid.
Return liquid to pot; stir in evaporated milk and heat just to simmering.
Stir in almond extract. Serve hot in individual soup bowls. Or, cover and
refrigerate until well chilled and serve cold.
