Place the almonds, vanilla extract, water and dates/honey in the container. Secure lid. Process on high until well blended, about a minute. Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag over a bowl. This is not necessary if you like it thick and don’t mind the almond pulp. Mix in the nutmeg, cinnamon and rum extract. Blend until combined. Add rum or brandy if desired. Chill before serving or add over ice.
