In a pot of boiling water add the almonds for 2-3 minutes and peel them once cooled.
Transfer the almonds to a blender, add 1 cup water and mix until they are completely blended. Drain the mixture into a bowl using a cheesecloth, and reserve the milky liquid.
Boil the sugar together with the rest of the water, until it turns into a thick syrup. Leave it to cool and add the almond mixture. Mix, transfer to bottles and store in the fridge. To serve, pour a little of the soumada toa glass and top up with cold water.
