White Gazpacho (Gazpacho Blanco)

• 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 olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups water, for diluting
• 1 bunch white grapes, small (for garnish)

1. Add all the ingredients up to and including the salt into a blender or food processor and blend thoroughly.
2. Dilute, using as much of the remaining 2 1/2 cups water as needed, to reach the consistency of thick milk.
3. Taste and season, adjusting as needed (vinegar, sugar, more salt, etc.).
4. Chill for at least 1 hour.
5. 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.
6. Remember to warn your guests about the "strong garlic surprise".
