Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a mixing bowl and let it soften for 5 minutes. Pour the boiling water into the softened gelatin. Stir until it has completely dissolved, then stir in milk and almond extract. Pour the mixture into a flat 8\"x8\"x2\" cake pan. The Almond Curd should be about 1/2\" thick. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until firmly set. Combine the sugar with 1 1/2 cups water and stir to dissolve completely. Chill in refrigerator. Using a small knife, make diagonal cuts 1/2\" apart all the way through the Almond Curd. Repeat in the opposite direction to form diamond shaped pieces. Pour chilled sugar water over and serve cold.
