    Place blanched almonds into a bowl and cover so that there is about an inch of water above the almonds. Soak for 12 hours. (To blanch, simple boil almonds in water for approximately 3 minutes. Rinse under cold water and remove skins.).
    Add the almonds, lemon juice, and water to food process. Process for about 2 minutes. Add dill, thyme, and garlic. Process until mixture is semi-smooth, 5-8 minutes. If you want to use different herbs, go right ahead!
    Refrigerate and serve!
    Tip: If after you process for the first 2 minutes and the mixture has a lot of excess liquid, strain through a cheese cloth or small strainer and then return the solid mixture to the food processor. Continue with the steps as written.
