Ajo Blanco - chilled soup

It's hot. A light soup is called for. Enter this chilled soup with grapes. Looks like cream and tasted about as decadent.

I was pondering the benefits of almonds for skin (vitamin E) whilst preparing for a Summer Skin class tomorrow and was reminded of a recipe I always meant to try. Today was the day...

Made with almonds and thickened with soaked out grouts (instead of the classic dried bread). A dash of cider vinegar and garlic.
