Ingredients for cinnamon almonds

• Almonds - 1 cup
• Sugar - ½ cup
• Water - ¼ cup
• Vanilla essence - few drops
• Cinnamon powder - ½ tbsp

Method of preparation

1. First, spread the almonds on a large plate and then put them in the microwave. Selecting the reheat option, toast the almonds for two to two and a half minutes. This takes away the raw flavour of the almonds.
2. Now set a pan on the flame. Add half a cup of sugar and a quarter cup of water, followed by the roasted almonds. Now let them cook.
3. As soon as the sugar completely dissolves, add a few drops of vanilla essence and half a tablespoon of cinnamon powder.
4. Keep stirring continuously until all the water has evaporated and the cinnamon sugar has been coated around the almonds.
5. Once it is all dry, spread it out on a tray to cool down. The cinnamon almonds are ready. Store them in a jar and enjoy.
