ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups water, for blending
- 1 slice day-old white bread, crusts removed, torn into pieces
- 2 ounces blanched almonds (should be about 1/2 cup volume)
- 2 garlic cloves, fresh, skinned, roughly chopped

- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1⁄2 cups water, for diluting
- 1 bunch white grapes, small (for garnish)
directions
- Add all the ingredients up to and including the salt into a blender or food processor and blend thoroughly.
- Dilute, using as much of the remaining 2 1/2 cups water as needed, to reach the consistency of thick milk.
- Taste and season, adjusting as needed (vinegar, sugar, more salt, etc.).
- Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Pour into a small glass; float a small grape as a garnish and (optionally) put a small bunch next to the glass to contrast with the heat of the garlic; also optionally, add some ice, either as cubes or crushed.
- Remember to warn your guests about the "strong garlic surprise".
