3. Place almonds in blender or food processor and grind to a fine powder. Add half the water along with garlic powder and seasonings. Blend well, then add the remaining water to form a smooth cream.
4. With blender running low, remove insert top and drizzle in the oil in a thin stream until mixture is thick.
5. Keep blender running and add lemon juice and vinegar.
6. Blend on low 1 minute longer to allow mixture to thicken to desired consistency.
7. Scrape into a jar with a screw top and refrigerate.
