How to skin your own almonds:
Place your raw almonds into the boiling water.
Let them boil for exactly one minute. Don’t boil for any longer than 60 seconds, or your almonds will start to soften.
Drain the almonds immediately in a colander or strainer and rinse them with cold water to cool them.
Use your fingers to gently squeeze the almonds and loosen the skin from them.
Once you remove the skins, let the almonds dry off completely.
Discard the skins.
