Notes
Spice Blend Variation - Feel free to adjust the spice blend to suit your taste preferences. You can increase or decrease the amounts of cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and cumin to achieve your desired level of spiciness and flavor intensity.
Honey Drizzling Tip - When drizzling honey over the almonds, aim for an even distribution to ensure that all the almonds are coated uniformly. Use a spatula or spoon to gently toss the almonds with the honey until they are well coated.
