Ingredients
- 150 g (0.75 cup) white sugar
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 pinch of salt
- 80 ml (0.33 cup) water
- 200 g (7 oz) almonds (or other nuts)
Instructions
- 1
Place sugar, coconut blossom sugar, ground cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and water in a large, deep pan and heat while stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- 2
Add almonds (or other nuts) and stir immediately so they're coated all around with the sugar syrup.
- 3
Heat over medium heat while stirring until the sugar mixture has reduced, the nuts have a crispy "sugar coating," and become matte. Then slightly increase the temperature and continue heating the almonds until the sugar coating releases and the nuts actually caramelize and become shiny.

Transfer the nuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, separate slightly with two forks, and let dry and cool there. They'll keep for several weeks in an airtight container.
