Soak the almonds in hot water for 2 hours so the skins come off easily.
Peel the almonds, dry them, and grind them finely.
Boil the sugar and water for 8 minutes to make a syrup that is not too thick.
Add the syrup to the almonds gradually, kneading after each addition so the paste does not become runny.
Shape the mixture into a roll, rest for 20 minutes, and slice.
💡 Tip: Peeling the almonds and drying them completely before grinding gives the paste a smoother texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice thinly and serve cold on a small plate with coffee.
