Steps of Almond Butter grinding.
Although, this grinding process requires a lot patience but the way it turns from powder to paste is amusing. And the aroma of roasted almond is enticing.
I roasted my almond first .You can use raw almonds too.
The almond grinding will go through four stages:
Powder stage
clumpy
Paste
Runny
Do not give up midway and wait till it’s runny because runny is smoother, creamier and spreadable.
