Preparing Almond Brittle (Lozeya)

  • 1. Roast almonds in a saucepan or in oven.
    2. Add honey into another saucepan, and stir over medium heat until it carmalizes and reaches the hard crack stage. (Tip: You can test the hard crack stage by drizzling a bit of the honey in cold water, it will form brittle threads which cannot be bent without breaking).
    3. At this stage, proceed by adding the lemon juice and vanilla stirring constantly.
    4. Be quick and careful, stir in the roasted warm almonds.
    5. Pour the mixture onto a silicon mat or parchment lined sheet and quickly smooth using a silicon spatula into an even layer.
    6. Set aside to cool completely.
