Soak the almonds in hot water for 2 minutes and peel them.
Dry the almonds and grind them into a fine powder.
Boil the sugar and water for 8 minutes until you have a thick syrup.
Add the almond powder to the syrup and reach a kneadable consistency.
Flatten the mixture and, once cool, cut into small lokum pieces.
💡 Tip: Grinding the almonds without releasing too much oil keeps the paste smooth.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in small pieces with Turkish coffee.
