How do you measure this out?

[livenraw]

I found a really cool raw recipe but it calls for 1 1/5 cup of distilled water (I use purified as always)

How would you measure that out? What does that equal out to?

Here's the recipe I found:

Raw Banana Milch Shake

Almond milk:
1/2 cup almonds, soaked in distilled water overnight
1 1/5 cup distilled water
Blend the above in the Champ HP3 until milky white, then put the following in and blend until you hear a terrifying racket, the sound of ice being sucked into the blades of the HP3, signifying that your decadent milkshake is done:
4 fresh (yum!) or frozen bananas (good too!)
2 pitted dates (don't forget to pit them!)
1 tsp raw organic almond butter
If using fresh bananas, add 9 ice cubes to the ingredients before blending.
Top with date pieces and raw hempseed nuts. And voilÃ*! Your milkshake is ready to be savored.

1/5 cup = slightly less than 1/4. Whereas 1/4 = 25 percent of a cup, 1/5 = 20 percent of a cup.

I have a Champ, too ( just now sending in the cup for a replacement - dunno how that wrecked, but the bottom unit is great )..
and... I don't see how .5 percent more or less water will destroy the recipe, so just measure out 1/4 cup and trickle out a bit of it before pouring into the Champ.

It's probably a typo as 1 1/2 cup of water.

Most people use the ration 1 to 3 for almonds to water for almond milk.

I use 1 to 2 meaning I use 1 cup almonds to 2 cups water.

Hope this helps.
