Almond Float image

A lovely fresh taste for a summer dessert. When I got this recipe it was described as a palate cleanser to have between courses. Makes a lot of juice, so this could be cut down if wished, or add other fruit such as lychees, pineapple or sliced banana. Cooking time is refrigeration time.
