    • Almond Sherbet

    Somata may be an ancestor of vegan milks that are fashionable today. Sweet and bitter almonds are beaten together to give aroma, then kept for a while in water and strained through a thin gauze cloth. In this way, almond milk is obtained. The leftover almond pulp is used in making cookies. Somata can be consumed cold in summer and hot in winter.
