Notes
*The amount of water needed to make this paste is dependent on your blender as well as your desired consistency. If you are baking with the paste, you might want it a little thinner to measure properly. If you are making this for toast, a thicker paste might be your preferred texture. Just make sure to start with 1/4 cup, and then add a little at a time until you are satisfied with the consistency.
