As mentioned above, to soak your almonds, you will need a
large bowl and enough warm water to cover the nuts. Simply place the almonds in the bowl and cover them with warm water overnight or up to two days at room temperature with a towel or cover over the bowl. Then drain and rinse the almonds in cold water before allowing them to dry out on a clean towel or paper towel for about twenty minutes. Discard the soaking water.
