I used lime juice (not lemon), I let the almonds soak for about a whole day (I did peel them), I didn't have
cheese cloth so I used a coffee filter (it did drain), I set my oven to 350 and put them in before the oven pre-heated and set it for an hour (figured the oven would heat up in 15 min, so it'd be 45 min
of cooking)... They were burnt on the bottom and
sides and they were dry and brittle.
