A veggie restaurant in the Chicago area (now defunct) used to make a
milk substitute as follows:
1.  Blend water with raw almonds 
2.  Pass the mixture through cheesecloth to eliminate the roughage
3.  Cook to thicken

Another use for this "milk" was to mix the milk with tomato sauce, tomato
puree, and cooked brown rice to make an outstanding cream of tomato
soup.  Sorry I don't have any measurements, but you won't be too far off
by just experimenting around.  By the way, an excellent book with
directions for soy milk and other soy products is:
