Even that Christmas holidays are over, we can still prepare one of the best christmas threats - cinnamon roasted almods. Cinnamon is one of the best spices, which make u go Hmmmmmm!
Are you among those who wish to taste cinnamon roasted almonds? But when you go into town and see the stalls where they sell cinnamon roasted almonds, your eyes shine, you buy them, and then find out that they are so hard that they could break your teeth. I call them TEETHBREAKERS. Unfortunately, many cinnamon roasted almonds are prepared that they are fully covered with a thick layer of caramelised sugar, which is hard to bite. First you must lick all the caramelized sugar of them, that you came to almonds. Those cinnamon roasted almonds ruin the essence of Christmas roasted almonds. The point of cinnamon roasted almonds is precisely that it can be bitten together with all the other ingredients to release the true taste of Christmas and the recipe for these almonds is here.
Even the preparation itself is quite simple, as in the preparation of caramel in the beginning you mixed sugar with water to make sure that we have a little more time and control over when the sugar is caramelized just right, that it don't become bitter. It's simple if you have a kitchen thermometer, but you can done it also without it. When the sugar begins to be colored from light brown to brown, liquid thickens, bubbles are less than half like at the beginning, it is just the right time to add spices.
