Oscar Diggs ('James Franco'), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking.
Use a container at least twice the size of the amount of almonds youâre using. They swell to about twice the size and will soak up much of the water. Cover the nuts with warm water and let sit in a warm place for about 12 hours or overnight. After about 12 hours, or in the morning, drain the water, add one teaspoon of salt per quart of almonds (presoaked quantity), and fill again with warm water to let soak for another 8-12 hours. After the final salt water soak, drain the almonds and dehydrate until crisp.
Step 1: Place the almonds in the glass quart jar with a large pinch of sea salt and enough filtered water to completely submerge them. Cover with a sprouting screen and soak overnight, or a minimum 8 hours. Rinse the nuts and add another large pinch of sea salt and enough water to cover. Soak for another 8-12 hours.
